Versions & Checkpoints

Versions & Checkpoints

Overview

Versions and checkpoints let you track the history of your calculator over time. Every time you publish, a new version is created automatically. You can also save manual checkpoints at any point to bookmark your progress. If you need to undo changes or go back to an earlier configuration, you can restore any previous version. Click the Versions dropdown in the header bar at the top of the calculator editor to access version history.

Steps

  1. Save a checkpoint — Click the Versions dropdown and select Save checkpoint. Optionally add a note describing what changed (e.g., "Added volume discount formula"). The current state of the calculator is saved without publishing.
  2. View version history — Select View versions from the dropdown to see a list of all published versions and saved checkpoints, ordered by date.
  3. Restore a version — In the version history list, click Restore next to any entry. That version's configuration is loaded into the editor as your current draft. You can review it in the preview and then publish when ready.
  4. Pin a version — Click the pin icon next to an important version to keep it at the top of your history.

Examples

  • Before a big change — You're about to rework your pricing formulas. You save a checkpoint called "Before pricing rework" so you can roll back if something goes wrong.
  • Rolling back a mistake — After publishing a version that has an error, you open the version history, find the last correct version, and restore it. Then you publish again to push the fix live.
