Version History

Every time you make a meaningful change to an app or agent in Riff, the platform saves a checkpoint. Version History lets you look back at any checkpoint and restore it — so you can try things, change your mind, and recover if something goes wrong.

Why this matters

When you're building or adjusting a procurement agent, you might make a change that has unintended effects — a new instruction that changes how the agent handles delivery exceptions, or a UI update that breaks a form. Version History means you're never one bad edit away from losing your work.

Think of it like track changes in a Word document, or the undo history in a spreadsheet — but for your entire app or agent.

Viewing version history

Open an app or agent, then go to Settings → Version History (or click the history icon in the top toolbar). You'll see a list of saved checkpoints, each showing:

  • When it was saved

  • Who made the change (you or a teammate)

  • What changed — a short summary of what was different

Restoring a previous version

Click any checkpoint to preview what it looked like. If it's what you want, click Restore this version. The app or agent returns to exactly that state.

Restoring doesn't delete your more recent work — it's saved as a new checkpoint, so you can always come back to where you were.

Automatic vs. named checkpoints

Riff saves checkpoints automatically as you work. You can also save a named checkpoint manually — useful before making a significant change you might want to roll back from.

To save a named checkpoint: go to Settings → Version History → Save checkpoint now, give it a name (e.g. "Before supplier portal redesign"), and click Save.
