Working with versions

Each time the the automation is executed, a version of the automation is saved to the changelog.

Access the changelog from the Overview section. The changelog is available from the vertical three dots icon button.

The changelog

The changelog shows a list of automation executions and when they were executed. Each entry is saved as a JSON object that represents the automation.

Information note

The changelog does not save the output of each block in an automation. Instead it saves the automation as a JSON object that you can use to restore previous versions.
