Version history and reverting

Editing never loses your original recording. Every time you save an edit, Vidler keeps a version, so you can go back to an earlier one or to the video as it was recorded.

Restore an earlier version

1. In the editor, click the Version history button (the clock) in the header. On a small screen, open the … menu and choose Version history.
2. Pick a version from the list. The newest is marked Current. Each one shows who saved it, when, its length and what changed, such as "1 cut" or "1 text overlay".
3. Click Restore this version.

The version opens in the editor so you can check it. Viewers don't see it until you click Save. The last 30 saved versions are kept, and Original recording is always at the bottom of the list.

Go back to the original

1. In the editor, open the … menu and choose Revert to original.
2. Click Revert to original to confirm.

This removes every cut, trim, clean-up, text, blur, card, inserted video and caption style. Undo brings them back, and nothing changes for viewers until you save.

Drafts

While you edit, your changes are saved as a draft about a second after each change. The draft isn't visible to viewers.

• If you leave with changes, choose Keep editing, Discard changes or Leave and keep draft.
• When you come back, a notice says your unsaved edit is back. Click Save to apply it, or Discard draft.
• To throw away everything since your last save, open the … menu and choose Discard changes.

If someone else saved first

If the video was saved in another tab or by a teammate while you were editing, you see Saved somewhere else. Click Reload to see their version, or Save mine to save yours over it.
