Every canvas can have multiple versions, which are snapshots at a point in time. Versions cannot be edited or deleted, so are very useful in understanding the history of the canvas.

Creating a version

Count will periodically automatically save versions of your canvas, but it is also possible to manually save a version - just head to the version history menu and click the plus icon. You are able to view the version history if you're an editor of this canvas.

Viewing versions

The version history pane displays all versions of the canvas, and highlights the one you are currently viewing.

To view an old version, simply click any from this menu and you'll see the canvas as it was at a given point in time.

Unless a Data snapshot is saved with a version, any current query results will not be saved.

Restoring an old version

Restore an old version by clicking the ellipsis icon on a version and selecting Restore this version. The current state of the canvas will be saved as an additional version called "Before restore" before the old version is restored.

Show the version history pane from the file menu.
