Every note quietly keeps its own history, so recovering last Tuesday's paragraph does not need a backup. Version history is part of the Sync, Pro and Lifetime plans.
How versions are saved
A few seconds after you stop typing, if the content actually changed, Grape saves a version. The AI also saves one before it edits a note, so any agent change can be rolled back. Each note keeps its most recent fifty versions.
Versions live in the library on your device, never in the cloud. Sync does not carry them, so each device keeps its own history, and a backup is what takes history to a new machine. The edits other people make in a shared note are the one exception, below.
Viewing history
Open the note menu and choose Version History. Versions are listed by time, and selecting one shows a full preview, including flashcards, quizzes and mind maps as they were.
Restoring
Restore replaces the current content with the version you selected. Restoring is itself a change, so the content you replaced becomes the newest version, and nothing is ever lost by looking.
Edits in a shared note
In a note you share or joined, the history also lists the edits other people made, each under the name of whoever made it, in their color. The edits one person makes within a few minutes of each other are one entry, and when several people type in the note together, the entry names all of them.
Choosing someone's edit opens on Changes: what they added is highlighted green, what they deleted is struck through in red, and a picture, drawing, file or mini app they added or took out is named. Whole note shows the note right after their edit, and Restore brings that back like any other version.
Their edits arrive with sync once they have paused for about a minute. Your own edits are listed as always, and each device keeps the last fifty versions of a note, yours and theirs together. With Can view, the history is there to read, without Restore, and a shared note shows Version History even with the setting below switched off.
To reach everyone, these edits are kept on Grape's servers: the last fifty for each shared note. They are deleted when sharing stops, and a month after a note leaves the share.
Turning it off
Version history is on by default and controlled in Settings under Notes. It stays on for most people; the toggle exists for the rare library where storage is tighter than history is valuable.
History or backup
Version history is per note and recent. For whole library recovery or anything older than fifty changes, use backups.
