Version history

Eden saves versions of your notes and boards as you edit. Preview any version and restore it without losing the current one.

·2 min read

Open a note's ⋯ menu, or the ⋯ next to a board's title, and pick Version history. Click a version to preview it, then click Restore version.

Restore an older version

  1. 01

    Open Version history

    In a note, click ⋯ at the top right and choose Version history. On a board, click ⋯ next to the board's title.

  2. 02

    Pick a version

    Versions are grouped by day. Click a day's arrow to see every version from that day. The top of the preview shows what changed since the version before it.

  3. 03

    Restore it

    Click Restore version. You'll see "Restored to version N".

Previewing changes nothing. Only Restore version does.

Restoring never loses work

Eden saves what you had right before the restore as its own version. If you picked the wrong one, open history again and restore the version from just before.

What gets versions

ItemWhat a version holds
NotesThe full text.
BoardsThe layout: which cards are there, where they sit, and anything drawn on the canvas.

Versions are saved on their own as you edit. There's no Save button.

A board version doesn't hold the contents of its notes. Restoring a board brings back the old layout, not old note text. Restore each note from its own history.

How long versions are kept

Old versions are cleared after your plan's retention window. The newest version of every item is always kept. See Trash and version retention for the days per plan.

If something's not working

  • Restore version is grayed out or missing: you need edit access. View-only access can't restore.
  • The item is in Trash: restore it from Trash first. See Trash and restoring items.
  • The item was permanently deleted: its versions are deleted too. They can't come back.
