Version History
Every note has a full timeline of earlier drafts. Step back to any point in history, compare, and restore in a click.
Timeline of every save
Academe quietly snapshots your work as you write. Open the Version History panel on any note to scrub through earlier drafts, each stamped with the date and time it was captured.
Snapshots are automatic. There is nothing to configure and nothing to remember to click.
Compare and restore
Pick any earlier version to preview it side-by-side with what’s on your screen now. Keep scrolling until you find the one you want.
Workflow and session history
Version history covers your notes. For longer-running workflows such as systematic-review screening and agentic-search sessions, Academe keeps separate run records. Open the relevant project panel to see each run, who triggered it, which inputs it used, and the outputs it produced.
The log is append-only. Replaying a workflow creates a new entry rather than overwriting the old one, so the record of how a conclusion was reached is always recoverable.

- A rewrite went too farRevert to the pre-rewrite snapshot and try a tighter prompt.
- A collaborator edited the wrong sectionRestore what was overwritten without losing their other changes.
