History and restore

Critic → History & restore records meaningful project activity, summarizes recent writing progress, and provides restore points for broad recovery.

Activity

The Activity view shows attributed project changes with their time and source. Filter by people, Enspeller features, or system activity. Entries may include project and chapter changes, Canon decisions, finding lifecycle decisions, imports, accepted proposals, and writing sessions.

Some entries offer Revert. A targeted revert is available only when the affected item still matches the recorded change. If later work would be overwritten, Enspeller refuses the targeted revert.

Progress journal

The Journal summarizes the recent project trail by day, including net words, writing sessions, chapters touched, findings closed, and participating collaborators. It is a progress view, not an editable diary and not a record of the manuscript's prose.

Restore points

Restore points preserve a recoverable manuscript state. Enspeller creates points automatically at useful boundaries such as daily activity, imports, and full analysis. Select Create restore point before a major rewrite, reorganization, or risky review round.

Each point shows its date, reason, chapter count, and word count.

Restore a manuscript

1. Open History & restore → Restore.
2. Select the intended point and verify its date, reason, chapter count, and word count.
3. Choose Restore and read the confirmation.
4. Confirm only when you intend to replace the active manuscript state.

Before restoring, Enspeller preserves the current manuscript as a safety point. The restored point is then marked as used. Team members should coordinate before a restore because it changes the active manuscript for everyone with access.

Restore versus targeted revert

• Use Revert for one eligible recorded action.
• Use Restore when you need the manuscript as it existed at a broader point in time.
• Use Revision comparison first when you need to understand the scale of change without altering anything.

WARNING

A restore is a project-wide recovery action, not an extended undo shortcut. Confirm the selected baseline and coordinate with collaborators before applying it.
