Versioning notes & documents

Notes and files both keep a history — but in different ways.

Notes: automatic history

Every content change to a note creates a new version automatically; a title-only change does not.

  1. Open the note and click History.
  2. The Version history lists every state, newest first.
  3. Clicking a version shows under Changes in this version what changed compared to the previous one.

The history is a read-only reference: you can review earlier states, but you do not roll them back. Unlike files, notes have no set as current; to bring an earlier state back, take it from the history into the note.

Files: create versions yourself

For files you control the versions by hand. Every version carries a number, v1, v2, v3, in the order it was uploaded. The newest is on top, the current one carries the chip current. Each version shows date, person and size; the date appears in the format you chose in your settings.

Use Create new version to upload a new file. The form says at the top which number it becomes ("New version becomes v3"). The file comes first: dragged into the dashed zone or chosen there. The title is prefilled from the file name and can be changed, What has changed? is optional. The previous version is kept.

An older version becomes the current one again with set as current. The document's title is the title of its current version; when the titles differ, Lalabase asks first, because the document will be called differently afterwards.

The download sign stands on every version. Behind ··· sit the text version, if Lalabase could read one from the file, and Delete version. If a version reads Index failed, the AI could not read the file for search.

The last version takes the document with it

On the only remaining version the item reads Delete version and document …, and the confirmation says so: with it the whole document is deleted. This action cannot be undone.
