Project snapshots

Take a full, point-in-time backup of your entire project before a big change.

Plan: Writer and Studio (free during the beta). See Plans and billing.

Version history covers individual documents automatically. Snapshots go a level further and back up the entire project at once, on demand.

Creating a snapshot

From your project’s home page, under Snapshots & export, select View snapshots, then New Snapshot. It captures every chapter, character, note, and plot beat in the project as it exists right now.

Browsing and restoring

Snapshots are listed newest first. Restoring a snapshot replaces your current project state with what was captured. Take one before a restructuring pass or a big edit you’re not sure about.

Deleting a snapshot

Old snapshots you no longer need can be deleted individually from the same list.

Snapshots need a connection, so creating and restoring them isn’t available while you’re offline.
