FAQPage Schema

How do I track note history and see what changed in my vault files?▼

Viewing note history involves locating the target vault note by path or title to construct a time-ordered timeline of git commits, complete with semantic interpretations of changes to capture shifts in meaning or intent.

How do I restore a previous version of a note using git history?▼

You restore a previous note version by using the --restore N command to fetch a historical version, which then shows a diff against the current state and prompts for confirmation before completing the restoration.

Can I see semantic diffs of my notes instead of just raw text changes?▼

Yes, semantic diffs interpret edits to your notes to capture shifts in meaning or intent, rather than just showing raw text changes, helping you understand how the content's meaning evolved across revisions.

Does this note restoration tool work with git version control?▼

Yes, the tool relies on git version control to trace the history of vault notes, locate prior commits, and offer a safety net for restoring earlier versions with full traceability and confirmation prompts.

What is the safest way to revert a vault note to an older version?▼

The safest way to revert a vault note is fetching the historical version with --restore N, reviewing the diff against the current state, and explicitly confirming the restoration before any changes are finalized.
