Where can I access my version history? (byron)

Whenever you pause your writing, Novlr automatically saves a version of your work and syncs it with our servers to ensure your words stay safe. If you ever accidentally delete something or want to go back to something you've written in the past, you can do this by restoring a previous version.

To access your versions, open the right-hand sidebar with your section open. Then, navigate to the Version tab, where you will see all currently active and previously created versions for that section.

You will be able to see the time and date the version was created, as well as the word count of that particular version. You can preview the version by clicking on it. It will temporarily replace the contents of your writing screen to show that version's content. This text will not be editable until you restore that version.

To restore a version, preview it from the sidebar, then click the "Restore this version" button.

To exit a version preview, just click back onto the current version of your section.
