What is Version History?
Use Version History
Open the history
Click the Version History icon at the far right of the bottom panel.
Choose a checkpoint
The newest appears first. Use its thumbnail, version number, time and details to recognise it.
Restore and confirm
Restore replaces the canvas with that checkpoint. School Draw first keeps the current drawing as a “Before restore backup”.
History Controls
Create a checkpoint now before experimenting or making a major edit.
Return the whole drawing to the selected checkpoint after confirmation.
Permanently remove an unneeded checkpoint after confirmation.
School Draw keeps up to ten versions; when full, the oldest is removed first.
Undo or Version History?
Undo reverses recent individual actions during this session. Version History restores a saved stage of the entire drawing and remains in the SVG file.
Good to Know
• Versions make the SVG file larger because each checkpoint contains the complete drawing.
• Very large drawings may be unable to add another checkpoint.
• Deleting a checkpoint cannot be undone.
Common Questions
Why is the history empty after starting a new drawing?
History belongs to a particular drawing. Open its saved SVG to load the versions stored inside it.
Why did saving not create another identical version?
School Draw avoids duplicate checkpoints when the drawing has not changed.
Can Undo reverse a restore?
No. Use the automatically created “Before restore backup” in Version History to return to the drawing you had before restoring.
