# View and Restore Workspaces Versions

> Open a save point, copy its version URL, compare Markdown, and restore it as a new Workspaces version.

Every [live-editing save point](/workspaces/documents/edit-together) stays in
version history. Opening or restoring an old version does not rewrite that
history. Restore creates a new latest save point.

## Open a version

1. Open the document's **Versions** panel.
2. Select a save point. The newest row shows **latest**. A row can show **no
   content change** when a path move recorded the same bytes.
3. Workspaces opens a pinned version view with `?version=<version>` in the browser
   address.

Use **Back to latest** to return to the live document.

</Frame>

## Copy a version link

The pinned version view has no separate permanent-link button. Select the
version, then copy the browser address.

The `?version=` app URL uses the workspace's normal access rules. It is not a
new public credential. It is also different from a frozen raw URL ending in
`@<version>`.

## Compare Markdown

For a Markdown save point, select **Compare with live**. The Changes view can
show **No earlier version to compare yet** or **No changes between these two
versions**. Use **Copy link** to share the Changes view with someone who already
has workspace access.

HTML has version history and restore, but no visual comparison.

## Restore a version

You must be a signed-in editor.

1. Open the save point.
2. Select **Restore this version**.
3. Select **Restore version**.

Workspaces restores the old body as a new latest save point. Older entries
remain unchanged.

A signed-in person with view-only access may see **Restore this version**, but
selecting it returns `403`. Anonymous guests do not see the control.
