Version History

The Version History feature allows users to view and compare visual differences between two Notebook versions. It provides a Git-like experience directly within the Notebook interface. This feature displays a chronological list of all saved versions with timestamps, which makes it easy to track a Notebook's evolution. By visually highlighting changes, Version History reduces the risk of data loss and eliminates the need for manual version management, such as duplicating Notebooks at various stages. It streamlines version tracking and simplifies understanding the Notebook's development over time.

View the Version History in Notebook

To view the version history in the Notebook, select the ellipsis (three dots) in the top right corner. Select Show Version History.

Compare Versions

To compare two versions, toggle on Compare Versions, and select each version to compare.

The side-by-side visual differences are displayed between the two versions. You can also view the versions with timestamps in the Version History pane.

This feature autosaves up to 20 versions at regular 2-minute intervals, where the latest version replaces the oldest one. A first In, first Out (FIFO) order is maintained when there are more than 20 versions.
