Note & Task History

NoteCove keeps a full revision history for every note and task, powered by the same CRDT sync engine that handles real-time collaboration. You can browse past versions, compare changes, tag milestones, and restore or branch from any point in time.

Revision Timeline

Open the history panel from the toolbar or context menu on any note or task. The timeline shows every revision — scrub through it to find the exact moment you want.

Each point in the timeline renders the document as it looked at that moment, directly in the editor.

The timeline includes a scrubbing interaction for browsing revisions:

Word-Level Diff

Compare any two revisions with word-level diff highlighting:

• Green: added text
• Red: removed text

This makes it easy to see exactly what changed between versions, even in large documents.

A 1-column mode is also available for narrower views:

Tagging Revisions

Mark important revisions with a name — for example, “v1 draft”, “before refactor”, or “client approved”. Tagged revisions appear as landmarks in the timeline so you can jump back to them quickly.

Restore

Restore a past revision to make it the current version. The content you’re replacing is not lost — it becomes a prior revision in the history, so you can always undo a restore.

Duplicate from History

Create a new note or task from any point in the history. This lets you branch from an earlier version without touching the current document — useful when you want to try a different direction or preserve a snapshot as a separate item.

How It Works

History is a natural byproduct of the CRDT storage model. Every edit is recorded as an incremental update in the CRDT log. Replaying the log up to any point reconstructs the document at that moment. No separate “version history” system is needed — it comes for free from the sync architecture.
