Versions
Every save is kept as a version of the whole book. Look back at any of them, compare, restore, or find a sentence you cut months ago.
There’s nothing to set up and nothing to remember. Each time you save, and every few minutes with auto-save, Septangular keeps a version of the whole project. Name the ones that matter as snapshots, such as “First full draft”, and the end of each writing session is marked for you.
Pick any version to see what has changed since, compare a scene side by side with how it was, and put back one scene or the whole book. A scene’s own history lists just the saves that changed it. Find in History searches every version for a passage you cut, and brings back files long gone from the Trash. And when you need to show how a book was written, the writing record lays it out day by day.
It’s all kept inside the project folder, using Git underneath, with nothing for you to install or learn.
