.. _module:history-visibility:
This module adds support for controlling the visibility of previous events in a
room. Whether a member of a room can see the events that happened in a room from
before they joined the room is controlled by the ``m.room.history_visibility``

they joined the room onwards. Events stop being shown when the members state
- ``joined`` - Previous events are accessible to newly joined members from the point
they joined the room onwards. Events stop being accessible when the members state
