Sometimes you need to revisit a design or find the save that changed a particular detail. History lists revisions of the open version, including timestamps, authors when available, and checkpoint notes to help you find the right point.

1. Open the history for the right version

Select a version in the editor, then open History. Entries describe actions such as saving content, editing sources, importing, or restoring. The current revision is marked in the list.

This history tracks the design. For a generated PDF, open Renders, which records jobs and their results.

2. Inspect a revision before restoring it

Use the viewing action on a revision to open its saved content. A historical revision is read-only; return to the current revision to continue editing.

Viewing an old revision does not change the live content. You can inspect it before deciding to restore it.

3. Add checkpoints to identify changes

Open a revision’s … menu to add or edit its Checkpoint. Describe the change, such as “Update Vietnamese labels” or “Move notes to a separate page”.

A checkpoint annotates a revision; it does not create a version. Changes saved by AI through MCP also carry a checkpoint describing their intent.

4. Restore saved content

Open the desired revision’s … menu, choose the restore action, and confirm. If there are unsaved edits, the editor asks you to resolve them first.

Restoring brings the selected content back into the version and records a new history entry. It does not restore deleted image files or PDF output whose retention has expired.

If a revision conflict appears, reopen the current content before trying again.
