Version history

Hippoly keeps a full history of every version of your document. You can browse earlier versions, see what changed between them, restore and download a previous version if needed.

Open version history

When viewing a document, click the Details button in the right toolbar and select the Versions tab in the panel. A list of versions is shown in chronological order, with the user who shared each change and when it was made.

Details button

View a previous version

Click a version in the list to open it in the editor. A banner at the top reminds you that you're viewing a previous version rather than the current content of the document.

To return to the latest version, click the Latest version button in the banner.
