Writing and compiling

Version history ​

Save versions, compare them and go back without losing anything.

The history lives in the Tools panel, Versions tab.

Automatic versions ​

PrismaTex saves versions without you having to think about it:

VersionWhen
Auto (compile)when compiling
Backup before AI editjust before an assistant change is applied
Backup before restorejust before an older version is restored

Save a version ​

Before an important step (submission, sending to co-authors…), click Save version and add a note such as "submitted version". If nothing changed since the last version, nothing is saved.

Compare ​

For each version, Compare shows the differences with the current state of the project, file by file: the chosen version on the left, the current one on the right.

See the old PDF ​

The Time Machine compiles a version and shows its PDF next to the current PDF. Browse versions with Newer version and Older version.

Restore ​

  1. Pick the version, then Restore this version.
  2. Confirm.

PrismaTex first saves the current state (Backup before restore), then restores. If something goes wrong, Undo restore puts the project back as it was.

Compare before restoring

To recover a single paragraph, compare the version with the current one and copy the passage you need, rather than restoring the whole project.
