How do I manage changes and version history?
Tracking changes and accessing version history allows you to keep the editing process organised and ensures that no work is ever lost. The platform automatically saves revisions, giving you a clear record of the manuscript's development over time. Here’s how you can effectively manage changes and use version history:
Every edit made in the manuscript is automatically saved, creating a new version and multiple versions are merged at regular time basis. This means you can freely make changes without worrying about losing progress. Each version captures a snapshot of the document, allowing you see differences between a previous version and what you currently have.
To view the version history, open the 'Collaboration' tab on the right and then select 'Versioning'. You’ll find a list of all previous versions, along with timestamps and the names of collaborators who made the changes. This lets you see how the manuscript has evolved over time.
If you need to revert to an earlier version of the manuscript, you can do so easily from the version history. Simply select the version you’d like to restore, click on the ":" icon and select 'Restore this version. Restoring a previous version doesn’t delete newer changes; instead, it sets the 'Current version' to the version you reverted to. You'll still be able to see what you reverted from in the version history.
The platform allows you to compare different versions of the manuscript to see what has been added, modified, or removed. This feature is useful for reviewing major edits or understanding the impact of suggestions made by collaborators.
Using version history not only helps track changes but also makes it easier to manage feedback and revisions. When collaborating with others, it’s essential to regularly check the history to ensure all suggestions and edits are accounted for.
