Sonovel Help Center

To manage versions of your manuscript, try the ‘history’.

You can access the ‘history’ through the icon at the bottom right of the editor.

The history window is divided into the left list area and the right preview area.

Enter history

If you are currently writing, Sonovel autosaves your history version every 10 minutes.
Even if you accidentally forget to save a version, you can still benefit from the automatically saved version.

1. Adjust your preference for viewing autosaved versions using the switch at the bottom of the history list.

2. Autosaved versions are labeled with the date and time of the save in the title.

Autosaved history

If you want to save the current version manually before making edits, try creating a new version:

Click the "Create a new version" button at the top of the history list.

Press Enter after completing the title to save the version.

Add new version

You can rename the history versions you've manually registered.

Hover your mouse over the item you want to rename.

After entering the new name, press the Enter key to finish editing.

Edit version

If you're not satisfied with the changes you made, you can restore to a previous version:

Click the "Restore" button at the bottom right.

In the Confirm modal, click "Restore" to revert to the selected version.
The current state will be autosaved simultaneously.

Restore version

You can directly delete the history versions you've manually registered.

If you find it inconvenient about having too many versions, try deleting some.

Hover your mouse over the item you want to delete.

Unfortunately, once deleted, a version cannot be restored.
