Can I see historical versions of tables?

I have a situation where I needed to restore an environment and hence I needed to restore the tables. I had backed up each Dataverse table by exporting it. My issue is when I import it the owner changes from the person that created the row to me. Is there a way to see a historical version of the table? Maybe I need to run a restore to my sandbox environment and inspect there or perhaps there is an easier way.

HI

If I may ask a question. You said you needed to restore an environment, but if you did a restore the tables should be populated.

Can you clarify that for me?

There is no way to see the changes in the Table, and do you mean the Data changes or the Schema changes or both?

Well, when you restore an environment only the empty tables are restored. You need to import the data back into the tables. When you export the tables, not all columns are exported it appears. Those columns that contained created date and created by are omitted from the export. When I go to import, those columns need to be populated so it fills in the columns with the time and day of import and puts me as the creator since I am the one importing them. My question is around whether or not tables have a restore feature or some type of history where I can go back and get, or at least see, the original data.
