FAQs: 


When does a new version save?

  • Every 5 minutes. 
  • When leaving a step (unless no changes have been made in the last 5 minutes.)

πŸ“ Please note: Version histories cannot be manually saved. 



Does restoring a previous version affect teammate completion scores?
No. Completion scores will remain the same. If you do wish to reset or clear completions for people, please follow the directions on this help doc.


Does restoring a previous version remove or delete my current version? 
No. All step history versions will be preserved, regardless of which version is selected as your displayed training. 


Does restoring a version notify your team of changes?
No. If you need to notify your teammates about your updates, use share changes.

Not at this time, but it is a feature option we are looking to add in the future.
