Opening version history

Open it

Open the draft control in the writing header. Each draft has a clock on the right of its row. Choose the clock to open that draft’s Version history. Opening a draft’s history doesn’t switch you to that draft. Choose the back arrow to return to the list of drafts.

What it shows

• Current manuscript: the draft as it is now.
• Named versions: versions you saved with a name. See Naming a version.
• Automatic history: checkpoints and safety snapshots Scriptr saved for you. See Automatic checkpoints and safety snapshots.

Each entry shows when it was saved and who saved it.

Preview a version

Choose an entry to open a read-only Version preview. Nothing you do in a preview changes the manuscript. To make it the current manuscript, choose Restore version. See Restoring a version.

When history can’t open

• You are offline: history needs a connection. Reconnect and choose Refresh.
• Version history could not be loaded: try Refresh. Your manuscript is not affected.
