Automatic versioning so you don't lose progress
Dyad automatically creates a new version every time it edits your code. This means you never have to worry about losing your progress if (and when) the AI makes a mistake.
How to restore version
At the top of the chat panel, you'll see a button that looks like this:
Version #The # is whatever version your app is currently on. Clicking this button will open the version list. You can click on previous versions and the preview will update (it may take a second or so), which is useful for figuring out the last good version.
Once you've selected a version from the list, you can click the Restore button to revert your code to that state.
When you use restore, you won't lose any history. Dyad's versioning system is always additive, which means it's safe to restore.
How it works
If you're not a developer and aren't familiar with Git, don't worry—you don't need to understand this section to benefit from Dyad's automatic versioning!
If you are a developer, this section may be helpful if you're using Dyad alongside other tools (e.g. VS Code, etc.).
Every version in Dyad is essentially a git commit. The commit message is generated by the AI to summarize the changes.
When you do a restore in Dyad, it creates a new commit similar to a git revert except it can revert multiple commits at once.
