Workspace History

In a Workspace with Track Changes on, the folder page has a clock button next to the big title: that's Workspace History. It lays out the whole folder as a series of save points over time, newest first: when each one was recorded and why, which files it touches, and how many lines were added and removed. Open a save point to see what changed in each file in that version.

You can see the list for free; opening a save point is a Plus feature. See Free, Plus and the 14-day trial. In a Git repository, the same spot holds Commit History.

Save point name When it's recorded
Added as Workspace Tracking starts for the first time
Your edits · Automatic You write in Resomark and then 15 minutes pass with no new save
Your edits · On quit You quit the app
Your edits · Tracking turned off You turn off Track Changes
Your edits · Recovered at launch Resomark didn't quit normally last time, so it's recorded at the next launch
External changes · Reviewed / Keep File / Keep All / Keep Selected You finish handling the outside changes in a file; the second half of the name says how
Your note · Manual You add a save point by hand
Tracking turned back on You turn tracking back on after it was off
Now tracked After an update, more file types are tracked, and the newly included files are recorded for the first time
Before Restore, Your edits · Restored from History You restore a file to an old version from history
  • Saving, keeping or reverting doesn't record a save point by itself, and neither does switching files or closing a window. If you write continuously without a 15-minute pause, there's only one Your edits save point.
  • The name says why the save point was recorded, not who wrote everything in it: an External changes save point also includes what you wrote in the same file.
  • If you revert all of a file's outside changes and its content matches the previous version, no new save point is recorded.

Click + (Add Save Point) at the far right of the panel's title. You can type a name; leave it empty and it's recorded as Save Point. Press ↩ to confirm. When it works, you'll see "Save point added to Workspace History."

If nothing has changed since the last save point, no dialog opens; you'll only see "No changes since the last save point."

  • Search: Search History at the top of the panel searches all of this Workspace's save points by name, by the note you wrote, and by the paths of the files involved (names from before a rename count too).
  • Look at a save point: click it. The panel closes and a Save Point section appears at the top of the sidebar: the save point's name on the first line, its date and time below, and then the files that changed in that version.
  • Look at a file: click a file in the section to open its before-and-after comparison for that version in the current tab, read-only. If the file still exists, the bar above it has Open Current File.

The section stays with the Workspace, and is still there when you go to one of its Pinned Folders; click × on it to close it. On a Pinned Folder's page, the panel and the section only list what's in that folder.

Workspace History can't restore the whole folder to a version in one go. To restore a file: open it from the section, click Open Current File, then choose that version under Reso in History in the Inspector on the right, and click Restore. See History of a single file. Deleted files in the section can't be restored from here yet.

The clock button gets a slash through it; hover over it to see "Workspace History · Tracking Off". The panel still lists the earlier save points, with Tracking Off under the title and Turn On Tracking… next to it, which opens this Workspace's Workspace Settings…. There's no + while tracking is off.
