Revision history and revert

Every save — typed by hand, produced by Claude, or imported from the inbox — is appended to a revision journal alongside the content: who, when, which lines, and the exact before/after text. Hover a block, click ⟲, and that block's history opens.

§2.1The journal

Each entry shows how the change was made (manual edit, Claude edit, AI translation, inbox import, or an earlier revert), by whom, and a collapsible before/after diff. Whole-file entries — a translation, an import — are listed for the record but carry no revert button: undoing them is git's job.

§2.2Revert

One click on an entry's revert button replaces that revision's after text with its before text — as a new journaled edit, so a revert is itself revertible. Two details worth knowing:

  • The revert is applied by exact content match. If the block has since been edited so the old text no longer appears verbatim, the revert is refused rather than guessed — nothing is ever fuzzily patched.
  • The result passes through the same build gate as any other save (the two safety nets). A revert that would break the page is rejected.

§2.3Why both a journal and git?

Git (via autocommit) is the durable, whole-file history — the thing you push, back up and diff. The journal is the fine-grained layer that makes ⟲ instant and per-block. They answer different questions: "what happened to this file?" versus "what happened to this paragraph?"

Titles, sections and body text, in this language.
