A scene’s history

How did this scene get here? Its history lists just the saves that changed it, newest first.

The history of the scene “Mrs. Bennet’s news”: a timeline of the versions that changed it, each with its word count, what changed, and buttons to compare and restore.
The history of one scene.

Each entry says when, the scene’s words then and the change, how many paragraphs were new, rewritten or cut, and a glimpse of the first changed paragraph. Snapshots that hold that text are named beside it.

Compare with Now sets that version beside the scene as it is, unsaved edits included. Restore This Version puts back just this scene, saving first, as every restore does.
