How exactly does nifi provenance events helps in getting back the data from the flowfile after it has been modified by some processors?

[#1]

example: Let the content of the flowfile be ABC before entering to a processor A. Processor A now changes the content to DEF, provenance repository contains Flow file attribute and pointer to the content repository , now how exactly do i get back the original content of the Flowfile i.e ABC. @Bryan Bende
