What You Can Do with Version History
Once you access the Version History panel, you can:
- Browse Previous Versions: See a timeline of saved project states. Framer automatically saves versions periodically.
- Restore a Version: Revert your entire project to a specific point in time. Note: This will replace your current changes.
- Copy Elements: Open a previous version alongside your current project and copy specific frames, layers, or components from the old version into your current canvas. This is useful if you only want to undo changes to a particular part of your design without losing everything else.
This method goes beyond the simple Ctrl+Z/Cmd+Z (undo last action) and is crucial for managing your project's evolution and recovering from mistakes or exploring different design directions.
Version History ensures you never permanently lose work and provides a safety net for your design and development process in Framer.
