SprintBrain keeps a complete revision history for every snippet in your library. Every time you save a snippet, a new version is recorded automatically. You never lose a previous wording, and you can always see exactly what changed, who changed it, and when.

​
How version history works

Each time a snippet is saved, SprintBrain creates a revision and appends it to the snippet’s history. A revision records:
  • The full snippet body at the time of the save
  • The author — the team member who made the change, stamped by the server
  • The version number — an incrementing integer starting from v1
  • A timestamp showing how long ago the change was made
  • An optional edit note if the author added one
Revisions are stored indefinitely. There is no limit on the number of revisions per snippet, and older revisions are never automatically pruned.

​
Viewing version history

1

Open the snippet

Find the snippet in your dashboard and open it. You can open version history from any snippet you have at least View access to.
2

Open the Version History panel

Click the History icon (clock) in the snippet toolbar, or open the row action menu and choose Version History. The Version History panel slides in from the right.
3

Browse the revision list

The panel shows all revisions in reverse-chronological order — newest first. The current version is labeled Current and highlighted. Each row shows the version number, the author’s name, any edit note, and a relative timestamp.
4

Expand a revision

Click any revision row to expand it and see the diff for that version.

​
Side-by-side diff

When you expand a revision, SprintBrain shows a word-level diff comparing that revision to the one before it:
  • Additions are highlighted in green with a + prefix
  • Removals are shown in red with strikethrough and a − prefix
  • Unchanged lines appear in the context color so you can read the full snippet
If you want to compare a revision to an older baseline rather than its immediate predecessor, use the vs dropdown that appears when older versions are available. Select any earlier version number as the comparison target, and the diff updates instantly.
Version history tracks changes to the snippet body and language variants. Trigger changes and folder assignment changes are not captured in the diff view. If you need to audit those, check the authorship record on the snippet itself.

​
Restoring a previous version

1

Find the version you want

Expand the revision you want to go back to in the Version History panel and confirm it contains the wording you need.
2

Click Restore

Click the Restore v[n] button at the bottom of the expanded revision. SprintBrain asks you to confirm before making any changes.
3

Confirm the restore

Click Confirm restore. The snippet body is immediately replaced with the selected version’s content.
4

A new revision is created

The restored state is saved as a brand-new revision at the top of the history. This means you can undo the restore itself — just expand the new revision, find the version you had before the restore, and restore that one.
Version history is a safety net for shared snippets. When teammates have Edit access to a folder, encourage them to edit freely — every change is tracked, any revision can be reviewed in the diff view, and any wording can be recovered in a single click. You never have to worry about an accidental edit being permanent.
