What happens to ontology edits after object is deleted?

Assume you have a pipeline producing a backing dataset for an ontology object. What happens to ontology level changes when an object/row disappears from the backing dataset? Say you have some object with id 123

  • hour 0: 123 appears in the dataset, is indexed in the ontology, shows up in the UI
  • hour 1: user makes some ontology level edits
  • hour 2: 123 disappears from the backing dataset, ontology re-indexes, 123 is gone from the UI
  • hour 3: 123 re-appears in the backing dataset, ontology re-indexes, 123 is back

Are the changes that occurred in hour 1 back as well, or are they purged as soon as a re-index results in an object no longer existing?

Found the answer in Foundry docs: https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/object-edits/how-edits-applied#resolve-conflicting-user-edits-and-datasource-updates

TL;DR user edits are stored persistently independent of the object, so yes the user edits would still be present when the object reappears.

The table just below ^that anchor link walks through an extensive example that should cover most edge cases.
