Snapshots

Sidvy automatically saves snapshots of your notes, creating a version history you can browse and restore from.

How Snapshots Work

Sidvy periodically saves a snapshot of each note, capturing its content at that moment. This happens automatically—no action required.

Viewing Snapshots

1. Open a note
2. Click the History icon in the toolbar (clock icon)
3. See a list of available snapshots

Each snapshot shows:

• Date and time created
• Relative time (e.g., “2 hours ago”)

Snapshot Contents

A snapshot captures:

• Full note content at that moment
• Timestamp of when it was taken

Restoring from a Snapshot

1. Open the snapshot list
2. Click the snapshot you want to view
3. Review the content in the diff viewer
4. Click Restore to replace current content

Caution

Restoring replaces your current note content with the snapshot version. The current version becomes a new snapshot first, so you can undo if needed.

Use Cases

Accidental Deletion

Deleted important content? Restore from a snapshot.

Wrong Direction

Took your writing in the wrong direction? Go back to an earlier version.

Compare Changes

See how a note evolved over time using the diff viewer.

Recovery from Mistakes

Made breaking changes to a document? Snapshots provide a safety net.

Tips

Don’t Rely Solely on Snapshots

Snapshots are automatic and limited. For critical content, also:

• Export important notes manually
• Keep separate backups
