Version history helps you keep track of changes you've or others made to your projects. Explore a timeline of events dating back to the project's creation.

1. View a version and see a snapshot in time.
2. Restore previous versions.
3. Duplicate versions to create development-ready code for developers.
4. Create versions to make it easier to view and access some changes.
5. Add names and descriptions to autosaved versions.
   

Avonni saves your work by adding checkpoints to the project's version history. Avonni records a new checkpoint after 30 minutes of inactivity (from our servers). If more than one person is working on a project, both contributors will need to be inactive for 30 minutes in order for Avonni to create a version.
