promptDeck
Feature · Version Control

Full version history for every prompt and workflow

Every change you make in promptDeck is preserved as a complete snapshot. Browse the full timeline of edits, label important milestones, compare any two versions, and roll back to a previous state at any time — with an automatic backup created before every restore so you never lose your current work.

Key Capabilities

What's included

Snapshot-based versioning

Each version stores the complete state of a prompt or workflow — not just a diff. This means every version is fully self-contained and can be restored without depending on any other version in the chain.

Version labels

Attach optional labels to important versions to mark milestones like "production", "approved", or "v2-experiment". Labels make it easy to navigate long version histories and identify key checkpoints at a glance.

Instant rollback

Restore any previous version with a single click. The rollback is immediate and applies the full snapshot, returning the prompt or workflow to the exact state it was in when that version was saved.

Auto-backup before restore

Before any rollback operation, promptDeck automatically creates a "before restore" backup version of your current state. This safety net ensures you can always undo a rollback if the restored version is not what you needed.

Complete state preservation

Versions capture everything: prompt content, system instructions, metadata, tags, variables, descriptions, and configuration. Nothing is lost between versions, giving you a true and complete audit trail.

Version comparison

Compare any two versions side by side to see exactly what changed. Differences in content, metadata, and configuration are highlighted, making it easy to understand the evolution of a prompt over time.

How versioning works

Versioning in promptDeck is automatic and non-destructive. Every time you save a prompt or workflow, a new snapshot is created and added to the version timeline. There is no limit to the number of versions stored, and older versions are never automatically deleted.

Automatic version creation on every save
Full-state snapshots — not incremental diffs
Unlimited version history per prompt and workflow
Versions are immutable once created — they cannot be altered
Timestamps and author information recorded per version
Version list sorted chronologically with newest first
Older versions are retained indefinitely at no extra cost

Labels & snapshots

Labels add a human-readable layer on top of the version timeline. Mark a version as "production", "baseline", or any custom label to create named checkpoints. Labels are searchable and visible in the version list, so your team can quickly locate important states.

Add custom text labels to any version
Multiple labels allowed per version for flexible tagging
Search and filter version history by label
Labels displayed prominently in the version timeline
Rename or remove labels without affecting the snapshot
Use labels for release management: "v1", "v2-beta", "approved"

Rollback & recovery

Restoring a previous version is safe, fast, and reversible. When you initiate a rollback, promptDeck first saves your current state as a "before restore" backup version, then applies the selected snapshot. If you change your mind, the backup is right there in the timeline.

One-click rollback to any version in the history
Automatic "before restore" backup version created first
Rollback applies the full snapshot including all metadata
Backup version is labeled for easy identification
Chain of rollbacks is fully preserved in the timeline
No data loss — every state is always recoverable
Works identically for prompts and workflows
Use Cases

Who uses version control?

Iterative prompt refinement

Experiment freely knowing every iteration is saved. Compare results across versions to understand which changes improved output quality, and roll back instantly if a change underperforms.

Team collaboration safety

When multiple team members edit shared prompts, version history provides a complete audit trail. If a change introduces issues, any team member can review what changed and restore the previous state.

Compliance & audit

Maintain a tamper-proof record of every prompt version used in production. Labels and timestamps create the documentation trail required for regulatory compliance and internal audits.

A/B testing prompts

Use labeled versions to manage A/B testing experiments. Create a "control" and "variant" version, test both, and promote the winner — all tracked within the version timeline.

Production prompt management

Pin production prompts to labeled versions and only promote changes after review. The "before restore" backup ensures production can be recovered even if a deployment goes wrong.

Training & onboarding

New team members can review the version history to understand how prompts evolved and why specific decisions were made. The full timeline serves as institutional knowledge.

Never lose a prompt version again
