Version History & Recovery

Krokanti Notes automatically saves a version snapshot whenever you make meaningful changes to a note. You can browse the full version history and restore any previous version at any time.

Viewing Version History

1. Open the note you want to inspect
2. Click the clock icon (🕐) in the editor toolbar — or open the ⋯ menu on mobile
3. The version history panel opens on the right, showing all saved versions with timestamps

Each version entry shows:

• Date and time it was saved
• A short preview of the content

Previewing a Version

Click any version row in the history panel to preview that version's content in the editor. The editor switches to read-only mode and a banner appears at the top confirming you're viewing a past version.

While previewing, you can:

• Read the content of that version
• Restore it (replaces current content with the preview version)
• Close the panel (or click "Back to current") to return to the current version

Restoring a Version

1. Preview the version you want to restore
2. Click Restore this version in the banner at the top
3. The current note content is replaced with the restored version
4. A new version snapshot is saved (so you can undo the restore if needed)

How Versioning Works

Krokanti Notes uses smart versioning to avoid filling your history with trivial keystroke saves. A new version snapshot is saved only when:

• More than 2 minutes have passed since the last snapshot, and
• The content has changed by more than 50 characters, or
• The note title has changed

This means opening a note, typing a comma, and closing it won't create a new version — but a meaningful edit session will.

Maximum versions per note: 50. When the limit is reached, the oldest version is automatically deleted.

Restoring a Deleted Note

If you accidentally delete a note (moved to trash), you can recover it within 30 days:

1. Click Trash in the left sidebar
2. Find the note and right-click it (or open it)
3. Click Restore

The note moves back to your notes list with all content intact. Notes in the trash are permanently deleted after 30 days.
