How to use version history

Version history lets you view previous states of your board and see how it looked at any point in the past.

Accessing version history

  1. Open the board you want to review.
  2. Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the screen.
  3. Select Version history.

Viewing a previous version

  • Versions are grouped by date and displayed as a timeline.
  • Click on any version to see the board as it appeared at that moment.
  • The board opens in a read-only view so you can review the content without making changes.

Availability by plan

  • Free plan — Version history is not available.
  • Educator plan — Access the last 7 days of version history.
  • Business and Enterprise plans — Unlimited version history.

Tips

  • Version history is useful for recovering content that was accidentally deleted.
  • If a student erases work during a class, you can use version history to find and review what was there before.
