What is version control?
Version control allows you to manually save snapshots of your course at different points in time. This helps you safely track changes, collaborate more confidently with teammates, and restore an earlier version if something goes wrong.
Each saved version captures the state of your course, including its content, settings, and translations, so you can return to a previous state whenever needed.
👉Version control is especially useful when:
Collaborating with co-authors
Making major updates to a course
Testing new ideas or content changes
Recovering from accidental edits or overwritten work
How it works
Version control works through manually saved versions. Each saved version includes:
Course content
Course settings
Translated languages (if any)
Timestamp
Creator information
💡Note: You can save up to 20 versions per course.
