Note versioning

Top  Previous  Next

When you write, you may want to experiment with different ways to present your ideas. In a traditional word processor, you have to save your writing experiments as different files. Moving back to an old version or comparing different versions involves several steps with extra work. In Biblioscape, the problem can be solved with note versioning. In the note editor, go to the tab "Snapshots". Click the button "Take Snapshot". This will create a new note as the child note of the current one. The new note will have the same content as the current one, and will be stamped with a date. You can then make changes to the current note. Later, if you are not happy with the changes, you can go back to the original note by clicking the "Rollback Snapshot". If there are old snapshots that are no longer needed, you can click the "Delete" button to delete them. To compare a snapshot with the current note, you can resize the window and the panel divider to make two notes show up side by side.

note_snapshotIcon

In the notes module and the composition module, there is a snapshot column. If a note has snapshots, a camera icon will be shown in that column. Under that note, there are child notes marked as snapshots using a different icon.
