Use the version history

Who can use this feature?

🔐 All users can view previous versions of items. Only workspace editors can restore previous versions.

⭐️ Available on the paid plans.

The item version history allows you to compare different versions of your content, tracking who edited an item and when (feature available for all edits made from April 23, 2019 onward). You can also restore previous versions of your content. This helps you undo unwanted, accidental, or unauthorized changes.

Nuclino automatically saves versions while you're working based on how long you are working and how many changes you make. That way you don't need to worry about manually capturing previous versions.

To use the version history

  1. Open the item you'd like to use the version history for.

  2. Open the item menu in the top right.

  3. Select View history.
