History and recovery

Use version history to review saved changes and restore a revision. The activity feed records document, review, and sharing actions.

Versions

Each saved revision includes:

• A document version identifier
• A timestamp
• Contributing author names
• An optional label
• The complete Markdown at that point

Use labels for important checkpoints such as approved outline, before agent rewrite, or release candidate.

Restore a revision

Restoring an earlier revision creates a new current version from that content. It does not erase the intervening history.

Before restoring, review the target revision and check the activity feed for other changes. Tell active collaborators which revision you intend to restore.

In History, find the revision, click Restore, then Replace the current document?.

Activity

The activity feed records changes such as saves, comments, suggestions, share changes, publication, and restoration. It is useful for understanding who changed what and for rebuilding context after a browser reload.

Resolve version conflicts

A 409 Conflict is not data loss. It means a write was based on an older version than the current document.

Read the current source, reconcile your edit, and submit it with the current version. Use --force only when you intend to overwrite the document.
