Script Snapshots

Use Script snapshots to inspect and restore earlier versions of a Script.

Script snapshots are saved versions of a Script's content. They are useful when a draft changes direction and you need to inspect or restore an earlier state.

Think of snapshots as lightweight version history for Scripts.

Open Script History

Use the history button in the Script editor header to open Script History.

The Script History sidebar with available Script snapshots.

Each snapshot shows:

  • How it was created.
  • When it was created.
  • Approximate word count.
  • A compact preview of the Script content.

How Snapshots Are Created

Snapshots can be created as part of normal save/history behavior. You may see snapshots labeled for manual saves, autosaves, or backups created before a restore.

Those labels help you understand why that version exists.

Inspect a Snapshot

Click a snapshot to inspect it. The detail view shows a larger preview, a full preview button, and the restore action.

Use the full preview when you need to read the snapshot before deciding whether to restore it.

Restore a Snapshot

Restoring a snapshot replaces the current Script content with the selected snapshot.

Before the restore happens, Bluprint saves a backup of the current Script state. That gives you a recovery point if you restore the wrong version.

When Snapshots Help

Snapshots are most useful when:

  • A rewrite went too far.
  • A reviewer wants to compare an earlier structure.
  • You need to recover content that was removed.
  • You want a checkpoint before major edits.
