Timeline - Premium Feature

Did you accidentally replace your current document, or do you wish you had kept that previous wording? Need to simply see when your last edit was made?

Step into the Tardis and travel through time! The Timeline stores the full edit history of your document. Quickly step back to see how things have changed and even select a previous version to make a copy of or revert back to.

*Note: This feature is available with a Premium subscription. Upgrade your subscription today!

For an immediate undo, if you'd like to bring back some deleted text and haven't added any other text yet, you can simply hit Ctrl/Cmd+Z at the same time on your keyboard to bring back that content. You can also go to Menu > Edit > Undo.

However, if you need to skip back a little further to re-add the deleted portion of your script, you can use the Timeline or Locally Saved Backups.
