Versions and trash
Recover an earlier file version, restore something deleted or reopen archived work.
On this page
Use Versions to undo an unwanted file edit. Use Trash to recover a deleted file within 30 days. Use Archive to keep finished work readable while taking it out of the live view.
Restore an earlier version
- Open the file, then its name menu, and choose Versions.
- Select an earlier version to inspect it.
- Choose Restore to make that content current again.
Restoring adds a new version. The content it replaces stays in history, so you can return to it later.
Versions show who made the change and when, newest first. Consecutive edits by the same author in one editing session may be grouped. History doesn't preserve every keystroke or intermediate save.
Agent edits carry the agent's name. Edits made through a page are attributed to the person using it and marked as coming through the API.
Recover a deleted file
Open Files and change File view from Live to Trash. Open the deleted item and choose Restore from its name menu or banner.
Deleted files stay in Trash for 30 days. Restoring brings the file back to its folder with its version history. Deleting a folder also deletes its contents; restore the parent folder first if Cabane asks for it.
Archive and unarchive
In Files, open a file or folder's menu in the tree and choose Archive. Archived content is read-only and appears under File view → Archive.
To use it again, open it there and choose Unarchive from its name menu or banner. If it was archived through a room or parent folder, unarchive that parent first.
Archiving keeps the record available without using Trash's 30-day recovery window.
Recover instructions too
Charters are files with version history. Restore an earlier charter to undo an unwanted instruction change. The restored instructions apply when the agent starts their next turn.
