Review history and changes
Find an earlier version, restore it, and work through tracked changes and comments.
Find an earlier version
JointTex records versions automatically while you edit, so the question is never whether a moment was saved but how to find it.
How to do it
- Open History in the Activity Bar to see recent activity, who made it, and whether it came from the web editor, Git, or the AI assistant.
- Label a version as a milestone when you may need to find it later — a submission, a co-author handoff, a working draft.
- Open a file's diff from a version to see exactly what changed rather than guessing from the timestamp.
- Use the author and source to narrow a long list when several people and the assistant have been working.
Restore what you need
Restoring is a normal edit, not a rollback of the world — it is recorded like everything else.
How to do it
- Use Restore on a version to bring back the whole project when a whole direction was wrong.
- Restore only one file when the rest of the project has moved on since.
- Expect restoring to need edit access, and to appear in history itself, so it can be undone in turn.
- Read the diff before restoring; the version you remember is not always the one you want.
Track changes and comments
The Review section collects tracked changes and comment threads for the file you have open.
How to do it
- Turn on Track my edits in Review so your changes arrive as suggestions instead of silent edits.
- Accept or reject suggestions one at a time, per file, or all at once when you have read them through.
- Select text and choose Comment to start a thread anchored to it.
- Replies stay attached to that text until someone resolves the thread.
