History and restore
History in a page’s menu. Every save is a version, with who made it and when.
Because the editor saves as you type, this is the real undo: closing the tab, a bad paste, an overenthusiastic rewrite and a merge nobody meant are all recoverable here rather than by ⌘Z.
What you can do with a version
Section titled “What you can do with a version”| Read it | The page as it stood |
| Compare it | A what-changed diff against the version before it, or against now |
| Restore it | Puts that text back as a new version |
Restoring never deletes anything. The version you restored from is still in the list, so restoring the wrong one is fixed by restoring again.
Reading a diff
Section titled “Reading a diff”Additions and deletions inline. Two things are worth knowing:
- Reformatting shows up as a change, because it is one. A paragraph rewrapped to a different width is a different set of lines.
- A merge of two people’s edits appears as one version, not two, with both sets of changes in it — that is the point of how a page body merges. If you need to see who wrote which half, the versions on either side of it are in the list.
How far back it goes
Section titled “How far back it goes”Every version is kept until the trash is emptied or a retention window passes, whichever comes first. Both of those are workspace settings that an admin controls — see members and roles — so if history matters to you, check what the window is before you need it.
A deleted page works the same way as a deleted task: it is a tombstone, it disappears everywhere, and Settings → Data brings it back until the trash is emptied.
