Version Control

Versioning allows you to save specific designs. Making a simple sensor change, but still want to keep the old design? Just create a new version.

Viewing Version History

Click the history icon next to the Current tag on any project card to open the history panel.

(Screenshot of Version History List)

• Version History: Displays a chronological list of all saved states.
• Status Tags: Look for the Current tag to identify the active production design.
• Drafts: Versions marked as DRAFT are work-in-progress iterations.

Creating a New Version

When you reach a milestone, click + Create Version.

(Screenshot of Create Version Modal to be added)

• Minor (e.g., 1.1): Use for small adjustments or "Wrong sensor" type fixes.
• Major (e.g., 2.0): Use for significant architecture changes or new harness generations.

Warning: Permanent Deletion

Deleting a project is irreversible and will delete every version associated with it.
