Mistakes happen — a paragraph accidentally deleted, a draft overwritten before you meant to finalize it. Bloc protects you by automatically recording a new version of your note every time it changes. You can browse the full timeline of a note’s edits, read a preview of any past state, and restore any version with a single click. Your existing history is never overwritten in the process.

​
Open version history

1

Open the note

Navigate to the note whose history you want to review.
2

Click the History button

In the note header toolbar, click the History button — it shows a counter-clockwise clock icon. The version history dialog opens.
3

Browse versions

The dialog loads the version list for that note automatically. Scroll through the entries to find the version you want.

​
What you see in the version list

Each entry in the version history list shows:
  • Operation badge — a label indicating what type of change created this version:
    • created — the note was first saved
    • updated — the note content or title was changed
    • deleted — the note was deleted (visible if it was later restored)
    • restored — the note was rolled back to a previous version
  • Relative timestamp — how long ago the version was saved (e.g., 5m ago, 3h ago, Mon, Jan 4). Hover the timestamp to see the exact date and time.
  • Title — the note title at the time of that version.
  • Content preview — up to 120 characters of plain text from the note body at that point in time.

​
Restore a version

1

Find the version

Scroll through the version list until you find the state you want to return to. Use the timestamp and content preview to identify it.
2

Click Restore

Click the Restore button on the right side of that version’s card. The button shows Restoring… while the operation runs.
3

Wait for the page to reload

Once the restore completes, Bloc reloads the note automatically so the editor reflects the restored content.
Restoring a version creates a brand-new restored version at the top of the history list. Your previous versions — including the ones you skipped over — are preserved exactly as they were. Nothing in the history is overwritten or lost.
Version history keeps the last 100 versions per note. Versions older than 30 days are automatically pruned. For notes you update frequently, older snapshots may be removed before the 30-day window if the 100-version limit is reached first.
Version history requires an active internet connection. If you are offline, the history dialog will display an error message and prompt you to reconnect. Your note remains fully editable offline — only the history view needs a connection.
