Save a version. Every design keeps its own version history on your device. Press Versions in the top bar, give the version a label, a note, your name and your discipline, and press Save. The badge on the button shows the latest version number, with a plus sign whenever the design has changed since. Versions are kept on this device with the design, up to three hundred of them.
See what changed. Press Changes on any version to list every field that differs from the current design, grouped by site, criteria, buildings, costs and engineering. Tick two versions and press Compare ticked to see the differences between those two instead.
Restore or branch. Restore puts a version back as the working design. The state you are leaving is saved as a safety version first, so nothing is lost. Branch starts a new design from a version: the easy way to try an alternative without touching the original. Both keep the full history, so you can always go back.
Automatic versions and history files. With the automatic option on, the designer saves a version whenever you export or share a design that has changed. Export history downloads the whole history as one file, and Import history brings it back on another device, or into a colleague's copy of the design. Versions live in this browser, so export the history before you move to another computer.
