Version History
Never lose work. Track every change, compare versions, and restore previous versions with one click. Auto-save keeps you protected.
How Version History Works
Automatic Version Tracking
DeckOS automatically creates versions when you make significant changes to your deck. Every save is tracked and stored.
Browse Version History
Open the version history panel to see up to 50 previous versions. Each shows the date, time, author, and a summary of changes.
Compare Versions
Click any version to see what changed: which slides were added, removed, or modified.
Restore with One Click
Found the version you need? Click "Restore" to revert your deck. DeckOS creates a backup of your current version first, so you can undo the restore if needed.
Key Features
Auto-Save
Changes are automatically saved every 30 seconds. You'll never lose work due to browser crashes or accidental closes.
Up to 50 Versions
Access the last 50 versions of your deck. Older versions are archived but can be recovered if needed.
Timestamp & Author
Every version shows when it was created and who made the changes. Perfect for team collaboration.
Safe Restore
Restoring creates a backup of your current version first. You can always undo a restore if you change your mind.

đź’ˇ Version History Best Practices
- •Check version history before making major changes—you can see what worked before
- •Use manual saves (Cmd/Ctrl + S) before risky edits to create clear restore points
- •Review who made changes if working with a team—helps track decision-making
- •Don't worry about restoring—every restore creates a backup first
