Version history

Docs keeps a full version history for every document. Versions come from manual snapshots, automatic saves, publishes, reverts, and applied proposals — and any version can be previewed or restored.

What creates a version

Version type	When it's created
Manual	You click Create snapshot and optionally label it ("v1 sent to review").
Auto	Automatic saves and content repair create rolling versions.
Publish	Each publish stamps a version of the exact content that went live.
Revert	Restoring an old version first records the current content, so a revert is itself reversible.
Proposal apply	Applying an agent change proposal snapshots the pre-proposal content.

Using the history rail

1. Open a document and click the History tab in the right rail.

2. Browse versions newest-first; each entry shows type, author, word count, label, and time.

3. Preview any version to compare it against the current draft.

4. Click Restore to revert the document to that version — with a confirmation, since it replaces current content.

Labeling and audit

• Version labels are editable, so snapshots can carry human context.

• Authors are shown for every version; combined with block-level last-edited-by data, you can always answer "who changed this, and when?"

Tips

• Create a labeled snapshot before big restructures or before an agent makes sweeping edits.

• Reverts are safe: the pre-revert content is preserved as a new version, so you can always undo the undo.
