Timeline and recovery
Review the edit history for the open document, including agent, human, upstream sync, and file system changes, with inline diffs and version restore.
The timeline shows you the history of edits made to the document you have open. From there you can view or revert to older versions of the document.
What the timeline shows
Open the timeline from the document side panel by clicking the icon. Each entry shows who made the change, when it happened, and a short summary of the change.
Timeline entries include:
- Agent and human edits with contributor attribution and change summaries
- Upstream sync entries from Git
- File system changes made outside of Open Knowledge
Review changes
Click a timeline entry to expand it. Open Knowledge shows an inline diff so you can compare that version with the current document. If that version is the same as the current document, you will see no changes.
You can switch between unified and split diff layouts from the editor controls.
Restore a previous version
Use the restore button on a timeline entry to restore the document to the selected version. Restoring is append-only: Open Knowledge creates a new change with the old content instead of deleting history.
