Version history [$15]

Open dan0xii opened this issue 8 years ago • 11 comments

Are there any plans to add version history to this app? I have searched existing issues and can't find any reference to it.

I'm thinking it would either be a Simplenote style history that could be rewound back by the user (see below) or just a simple list of "note content as of [dd/mm/yyyy HH:mm]" that the user chooses from. For the latter scenario you'd have to decide on an acceptable interval to consider the change to be "complete" so that you didn't get a huge list of changes every time the user enters a new word or sentence.

Would this depend on the availability of file versioning on the server side? That would make sense, wouldn`t it?

Definitely.

Versions of Notes are already created through the files_versions app in Nextcloud (shipped by default). If that’s enabled, the 3-dot menu of a note could simply expose that to roll back to previous versions. :)

hm.. i do not have any versions of notes within the 3-dot menu of a note..

NC 21.0.2 Notes 4.0.4 and Versions 1.14.0 app is activated..

I also added 'versions_retention_obligation' => '3, auto', `

to /var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php as described in the documentation:

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/config_sample_php_parameters.html#file-versions

Did i miss some necessary step ?

This feature is not yet implemented (please have a look at the open state of this issue).

Also interested in this issue, wondered whether a git history would be useful but if versions are already kept that's even better

Also interested. Sometimes a note update is not done on a device and the data is overwritten. It would be nice to be able to go back to a previous version. I currently do this manually by going to the [files_versions] folder of Nextcloud.
