​
Version Control

Every change in your Natively project is saved, giving you full version history and the ability to revert if needed.

​
How It Works

Each time the AI makes changes to your code:
  1. Changes are made - Files are created or modified
  2. Build completes - App compiles successfully
  3. Commit created - Changes are saved with a descriptive message
  4. Preview updates - You see the result immediately

​
Reverting Changes

If something breaks, you can revert to a previous version:
1

Open History

Navigate to the version history panel
2

Find Working Version

Look for the last commit where everything worked
3

Revert

Click the revert button on that commit
4

Confirm

Your project is restored to that state

​
GitHub Sync

With GitHub connected, your version history is also:
  • Backed up to your repository
  • Accessible via standard Git tools
  • Shareable with collaborators

Best Practices

Test Before Moving On

Verify each change works before making more

Note Important Versions

Remember which commits represent major milestones

Revert Early

If something breaks, revert quickly rather than trying to fix forward
