Restore an earlier version

Every edit saves automatically. Versions are named copies of the whole diagram that you can compare with the current diagram or restore.

Save a checkpoint

Open the Menu button (☰ next to the view tabs) and choose File, choose Versions… and click Save checkpoint. Give it a name, such as "Before the firewall swap", or leave the name blank.

Automatic safety versions

ApexDiagram also saves a version on its own before anything that replaces a lot at once: restoring a version, importing, refreshing from a file, resetting, auto-layout and every AI architect run. The 30 most recent automatic versions are kept. Versions you save yourself are never removed.

Compare and restore

1. Open Versions….
2. Compare next to a version shows the devices added, removed and changed (field by field) and the links added or removed since that version.
3. Restore puts the diagram back exactly as it was. The page reloads afterwards.

Restoring is itself undoable: a safety version is saved first.

On the Free plan the list shows only the most recent versions. Older ones are kept, and appear again if you move to Team.
