Version History: Snapshots & Restore

Nimoo’s version history lets you go back to any previous state of the timeline, no matter how many edits you’ve made. Every version stores the complete timeline — all stages, dates, and revision round settings.

There are two types: auto-snapshots and pinned versions.

Auto-snapshots

Every time you make a change to the timeline, the system saves a snapshot automatically about 2.5 seconds later. Auto-snapshots are labeled with the save time and don’t have a custom name.

Changes made within the same browser window keep overwriting the same auto-snapshot. A new snapshot is created when you reopen the timeline or open it in a new tab.

Auto-snapshots have a limit. When the limit is reached, the oldest one is removed. If you want to keep a particular auto-snapshot long-term, pin it from the version history drawer — pinned versions are never auto-deleted.

Pinned versions (manual save)

To proactively save the current state at a specific point, you have two options:

Save directly:

  1. Click the “Save Version” button in the top-right of the timeline
  2. Enter a version name (e.g. “Client approved v2”, “Pre-proposal backup”) — or leave it blank
  3. Confirm — the version is saved

Pin an auto-snapshot:

  1. Open the version history drawer and find the auto-snapshot you want to keep
  2. Click “Pin,” enter a name (optional), and confirm

Pinned versions also have a limit — keep only the versions that mark meaningful milestones.

Viewing version history

  1. Click the “Version History” button in the top-right of the timeline to open the drawer
  2. The list is divided into “Pinned Versions” and “Auto-snapshots,” sorted by time

Previewing a version

  1. In the version list, click “Preview” on any version
  2. The timeline switches to that version’s state — you can browse it fully
  3. You can’t edit during preview, only view
  4. Click “Exit Preview” to return to the current version

Restoring a version

  1. While previewing a version, click “Restore this version” if you want to switch to it
  2. The timeline switches to the selected version, and the restored state is automatically saved as a new snapshot in the background
