+## What's On In Databend
+
+Stay connected with the latest news about Databend.
+
+#### RESTORE TABLE
+
+By the snapshot ID or timestamp you specify in the command, Databend restores the table to a prior state where the snapshot was created. To retrieve snapshot IDs and timestamps of a table, use [FUSE_SNAPSHOT](https://databend.rs/doc/sql-functions/system-functions/fuse_snapshot).
+
+
+```sql
+-- Restore with a snapshot ID
+ALTER TABLE <table> FLASHBACK TO (SNAPSHOT => '<snapshot-id>');
+-- Restore with a snapshot timestamp
+ALTER TABLE <table> FLASHBACK TO (TIMESTAMP => '<timestamp>'::TIMESTAMP);
+```

+## What's Up Next
+
+We're always open to cutting-edge technologies and innovative ideas. You're more than welcome to join the community and bring them to Databend.
+
+#### Adding Build Information to Error Report
+
+An error report currently only contains an error code and some information about why the error occurred. When build information is available, troubleshooting will become easier.
+
+```bash
+"Code: xx. Error: error msg... (version ...)"
+```
