See and restore earlier versions of a memo

Fieldwerk keeps a history of every memo. To go back, open the memo's menu, choose View history, pick a version and click Restore. Nothing is lost: the memo as it is now is saved as a new version first, so you can undo a restore. This is what makes it safe to let colleagues and your AI edit freely: you can always see who changed what, and take any change back.

Restore an earlier version

1. Open the memo.

2. Open its menu (More, top right) and choose View history.

3. In the History panel, pick a version from Versions. Click Load older versions to go further back.

4. Click Restore, then confirm.

Only people who can edit the memo see View history.

Who made each change

Each version shows who saved it, how many lines were added and removed, and how it was made. A change typed in the editor shows under the person who typed it. A change made by an AI shows the person's name followed by via and the AI's name, for example "Ben via Claude Code", so you can see exactly what your AI changed and restore the version before it if you need to.

Have your AI do it

Once your AI is connected (see Connect Claude to Fieldwerk or Connect ChatGPT to Fieldwerk), it can read the history as well as add to it:

In Fieldwerk, ask me which memo to check, then tell me what changed in it over the last week and who changed it.

Restoring a version is done in the browser, from the History panel.

Files have their own history

Files you upload, such as a spreadsheet or an HTML artifact, keep their own versions. See Upload a new version of a file.
