Does Versions save everything about my entry?
Each snapshot includes text, tag, customizations, and prompt information. If any of that has changed since your last save you can revert back to where you left off.
If an entry was locked with encryption, however, snapshots are wiped with each locking event. If you’d like to lock an entry and keep the snapshots intact, you must use the basic lock.
How can I restore or revert to a previous saved version of an entry?
If you’ve lost text somehow while writing, or if you return to an entry which you thought was saved to find it not how you left it, you can use Versions to get back what you lost. So long as the lost text was saved at some point, the snapshot will be available and can easily be restored using Versions.
1. Click on the Version’s icon on the pad toolbar (this is a Pro only feature):
2. View the various snapshots available:
3. Preview the entry to make sure it’s the version you want:
4. Click “Restore…” to chose how you want to restore the entry:
5. Click “Replace This Entry” to overwrite the current entry or “Create New Entry” to create a separate copy.

What is Versions?
Versions is a feature that exposes past snapshots of an entry. Each snapshot is created when the entry is saved, preserving text, tags, prompts, and customizations. This is convenient if by chance you happen to lose some text, or make a mistake and delete text. You can quickly revert back to any previous version and continue writing!
