Versions & history

Versions are named snapshots of the document. Use them to:

  • Mark milestones (“v2 launch content”, “Q1 refresh”).
  • Roll back mistakes with confidence.
  • Diff what changed between two points in time.

Opening Versions

Click the clock icon in the top bar. The Versions modal opens with the full timeline of snapshots for this document.

Saving a version

Click Save current as version in the Versions modal. Give it an optional name (e.g. “Pre-launch copy review”). The snapshot captures the current document.

Each version records:

  • A unique ID.
  • Who saved it (based on author identity).
  • When (timestamp).
  • An optional label.

Diffing

Select any two versions in the timeline and click Compare. You’ll see:

  • Blocks added — new block instances introduced since the earlier version.
  • Blocks removed — block instances deleted since the earlier version.
  • Blocks changed — per-block prop diffs, with before/after values.
  • Root changes — edits to the document’s root fields.

Diffs are at the field level, so you can see exactly what text or setting changed.

Restoring a version

Click Restore on any version to replace the current document with that snapshot. The current document is not discarded — it becomes the newest entry in history, so you can always go back.

Restoring replaces the entire document — blocks, root, and all zones. If you want to keep edits from the current document, save a version first.

Automatic versions

Some apps are configured to save a version automatically on every Publish — giving you a built-in publish history. Check with your developers if you expect this but don’t see it.
