History, restore & search

Version history

Every save — yours, a teammate’s, or an agent’s — becomes a version. Open the clock button in the document toolbar to see them:

• Click a version to preview the document as it was.
• Restore version makes that content the current document — as a new version, so nothing is ever destroyed. You can restore a restore.
• Approvals are recorded against specific versions, so history also answers “what exactly did we sign off on?”

Comments and suggestions live inside the file, so a version captures the prose and the discussion around it at that moment.

Reading just the decisions

Sign-offs appear in the list as their own rows — approved and changes requested, each against the version it was recorded on. The Show: All versions / Decisions toggle at the top of the panel hides everything else, leaving the document’s decision trail on its own.

The filter is a view over the versions already loaded, so switching it back loses nothing. If the loaded pages hold no decisions the panel says so, and Load older versions keeps looking further back.

Search

Press ⌘ K (Ctrl K), or click the search box in the header:

Results come in three groups:

• Files — file-name matches.
• Text matches — full-text hits with a snippet.
• Related — semantically related passages, found by meaning rather than exact words. The relatedness index builds in the background on your machine; it appears shortly after a workspace is first opened.

Use ↑ ↓ to move, Enter to open, Esc to close. Search covers the workspace you have open.

If something goes wrong

• A save can’t be applied (someone else changed the document first): DraftMesh never overwrites silently — re-open the latest version and your change can be re-applied.
• A comment lost its text: it becomes an orphaned comment in the panel rather than disappearing.
• A bad edit shipped: find the last good version in history and restore it.
• A sync conflict: both versions are kept and a guided panel lets you decide — see Workspaces & sync.
