Version History

Definition: Version History in Taskade Genesis provides complete tracking of every change to your app, allowing you to view past versions, compare changes, and restore any previous state instantly.

Why Version History Matters

Without Version History:

• Made a change you regret? Start over
• Broke something that was working? Debug for hours
• Want to see what changed? Good luck remembering
• Collaborator made changes? Hope they documented it

With Taskade Genesis Version History:

• Every change is automatically saved
• Compare any two versions side-by-side
• Restore any previous version with one click
• Full audit trail of who changed what

Version History Features

Automatic Saving:
Every significant change creates a version automatically. No manual saves, no forgetting - your work is always protected.

Commit-Based Tracking:
Like Git, but without the complexity. Each version shows:

• What changed
• When it changed
• Who made the change
• Description of the modification

Visual Comparison:
See exactly what's different between versions with highlighted changes. Compare current state to any previous version.

One-Click Restore:
Found a version you want to go back to? Restore it instantly. The current state becomes a new version, so you never truly lose anything.

Using Version History

View History:
Open Version History from your app's menu to see all saved versions with timestamps and descriptions.

Compare Versions:
Select any two versions to see what changed between them. Great for understanding evolution or finding when a bug was introduced.

Restore Version:
Click restore on any version to make it the current state. Your previous current state is saved as a new version.

Branch Exploration:
Try experimental changes knowing you can always restore. Perfect for testing different approaches.

Real-World Examples

Safe Experimentation:
"I wanted to completely redesign the dashboard. With Version History, I could experiment freely knowing the original was safe. Ended up restoring and keeping elements from both versions."

Debugging:
"Something broke after a series of changes. I used version comparison to find exactly which change caused the issue, then restored to right before that change."

Team Collaboration:
"Multiple team members work on our app. Version History lets us see who changed what, and we can restore if someone's changes conflict with someone else's work."

Version History Best Practices

• Name significant versions - add descriptions to important milestones
• Review before restoring - compare to understand what you'll lose
• Use for experimentation - try bold changes without risk
• Regular checkpoints - before major changes, note the current version
