Version history
3 min read
Every time you save an agent, its settings are versioned — browse past versions, compare exactly what changed, and restore any earlier version in one click.
Every agent keeps a version history of its settings. Each time you save a tab in the editor, the platform records a new version — so you can look back at how the agent was configured before, compare what changed, and restore an earlier version if a change didn’t work out.
It’s available on every agent (conversation, extraction, form) from the History button in the top right of the agent editor — no matter which tab you’re on.
What’s tracked
A version captures the agent’s saved settings, and the comparison highlights exactly which of them changed between two versions, field by field — for example Instructions, Greeting, Model, Temperature, Locale, the Answer source mode, and the output schema. Restoring never deletes anything: it copies an old version’s settings into a new current version.
The full flow at a glance
The walkthrough below replays every step in the real interface. Use Prev / Next to move at your own pace; each step highlights the button to click and the area to watch.

Showing changes from version 1 to version 2.
The settings of version 2 will be copied as a new version and become the current settings. No version is deleted.
Step by step
1. Open History
In the agent editor, click History at the top right. The button carries a badge showing the current version (e.g. v3). A panel slides in from the right.
2. Browse the versions
The Version history panel lists every saved version, newest first. Each row shows Version n and when it was saved; the latest one is marked Current.
3. Choose what to compare
Select an older version, then pick a comparison mode:
- Changes in this version — what changed between the selected version and the one just before it.
- Compare with current — the difference between the selected version and the current settings.
A caption tells you which two versions you’re comparing. If there’s only one version, you’ll see Only one version; if two versions are identical, No differences.
4. Read the diff
The comparison shows a field-by-field diff of everything that changed — removed text in red, added text in green — so you can see exactly how the settings differed (instructions, model, temperature, and so on).
5. Restore a version
Found a version you want back? Click Restore this version. (The button is disabled on the Current version — there’s nothing to restore.)
6. Confirm the restore
A dialog — Restore version n? — explains that the version’s settings will be copied as a new version and become the current settings, and that no version is deleted. Confirm to apply it; the editor reloads with the restored settings as the new current version.
Tips
- Save often — each save is a restore point, so you can experiment freely and roll back.
- Use Compare with current to review everything that changed since a known-good version before restoring.
- Restoring is safe and reversible: it creates a new version, so you can always restore forward again.
Troubleshooting
- I don’t see the History button — it’s in the top right of the agent editor; open an agent and make sure you’re on its edit screen.
- The panel says “Only one version” — the agent has been saved just once; there’s nothing to compare until you save a change.
- Restore is disabled — you’ve selected the Current version; pick an older one to restore it.
- A change broke the agent — open History, find the last good version, and Restore it — nothing you’ve saved is lost.
