Each time you save your Project, a new version is created. These save versions (or Saves) can be recalled using the Project history menu to revert your Project to exactly how it was in that version.
Each Save is numbered based on the order in which it was created i.e. the first version is Save 1, the second is Save 2 etc. The Project history menu also shows who in your account made a change and a timestamp of when the change was made.
Restoring a previously saved Project version
1. In your Project, open the Project history sidebar menu by selecting the Project history icon
2. Scroll through the list to find the version of the Project you'd like to restore. Selecting the Date or Action headings will sort the list by that category, either arranging the results into ascending or descending order.
3. On your chosen version, select Restore
4. The selected version of the Project will be restored
Saves older than 90 days will be automatically removed from your save history.
What happens when I restore a previous version of my Project?
Restoring a Save does not overwrite your current version but instead makes the newly recalled version the most recent version. This means you can freely cycle through different versions without permanently erasing your other save versions, giving you room to experiment with your Project without losing any content.
If you choose to continue building from a past version of your course, saving the changes will not overwrite any changes that have been made between that version and your most recent version. Instead, they will be saved as a new, separate version.
For example, if you are working on version 10, and choose to restore version 8 and continue working from there, this will create version 11, but versions 9 and 10 will still be available in your history.
This also means that reverting to a previous save will not re-enable the ability to make a partial re-release. For more information, see Retaining learner progress after re-releasing a course.
