Saved versions and going back

What is saved, what can be brought back today, and why going back moves forward.

Every request saves a version: a snapshot of your app, plus a copy of whatever was stored in it at that moment.

Going back moves forward

Returning to an earlier version adds a step that brings your app back to that state. It does not rewind, reset, or delete anything. The work you moved away from is still there, so you can jump forward to it again.

This matters more than it sounds. A time machine that destroys the present is one you use once and then stop trusting.

What restores today

Your app comes back. Your information does not. Both are saved at every version, and the interface tells you which versions hold your information — but putting that information back is not built yet. We say so rather than reporting success and letting you assume it moved too.

You also cannot go back while we are still building. Stop it first.
