Denada automatically tracks changes to your templates so you can review what changed and roll back to a previous state if needed. You will find version history in the Options tab of the right sidebar.

​
Accessing version history

Switch to the Options tab in the right sidebar and click View history under the Versions section.

​
Automatic checkpoints

Denada creates automatic checkpoints to protect your work without you having to think about it. A new checkpoint is saved after a period of inactivity — typically 30 minutes since your last edit. This means that every meaningful state of your template is preserved as you work. Each automatic checkpoint records:
  • The full state of the template (all blocks and parameter values).
  • A timestamp showing when the checkpoint was created.

​
Manual checkpoints

You can create a checkpoint at any time by clicking the + button in the version history panel. Manual checkpoints are useful when you want to mark a specific milestone — for example, before making a large change or after receiving stakeholder approval.
Create a manual checkpoint before making significant edits. It gives you a clean restore point if things do not work out.

​
Viewing previous versions

Click on any version in the list to preview it. The editor will show the template as it looked at that point in time so you can compare it to the current state.

​
Restoring a version

To restore a previous version:
  1. Open the version history panel.
  2. Click on the version you want to restore.
  3. Confirm that you want to restore it.
The template will revert to the selected version. Your current state is not lost — it becomes a version in the history that you can restore later if needed.
Restoring a version replaces the current template state. Make sure to review the version preview before confirming.

​
Undo and redo

Within your current editing session, you can use standard undo and redo shortcuts for quick corrections:
  • Undo: Ctrl+Z (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Z (Mac)
  • Redo: Ctrl+Shift+Z (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+Z (Mac)
Undo and redo work for individual parameter changes, block additions, block deletions, and reordering. These are session-level actions — they reset when you close the editor or navigate away.
Undo/redo and version history work together. Undo handles small, immediate corrections. Version history handles larger rollbacks across editing sessions.

​
Best practices

  • Let automatic checkpoints do their job. You do not need to manually save constantly — Denada has you covered.
  • Use manual checkpoints at milestones. Mark important states like “approved by client” or “before redesign” so they are easy to find later.
  • Preview before restoring. Always review a version before restoring to make sure it is the one you want.
