If you know the preceding event, you can write code that recreates that event within the current rule and accesses the data.

The coding has the following limitations:

• If you use the wrong type, a runtime error will occur.
• The information in these old events is stale. If a Refine action creates some pages, events that occurred before the refine process won't have access to those pages.

' Casting the previous event in this rule to its type
