Notesnook keeps a log of your editing sessions. Each one is stored as a "version" of the note, so if you delete a paragraph you needed or paste over something important, you can look at an earlier copy and bring it back.
Every time you create a new note or open an existing note, Notesnook creates a "session" for it. All the changes made to the note are also stored in that session in addition to the note itself.
In short, if you open a note and edit it at 10 different times during the day, you'll have 10 previous versions of that note.
{{properties}} panel from the editor's action bar.{{noteHistory}} and click a session to preview it.{{restoreThisVersion}} to bring it back, or {{saveACopy}} to keep both.Restoring replaces the note's current content with the version you picked. To compare instead, {{saveACopy}} creates a new note from the old version and leaves the original untouched.
Version history is capped by plan, and versions past the cap are deleted permanently — they are not hidden or archived.
| Plan | Versions kept per note |
|---|---|
| Free | 100 |
| Essential | 1,000 |
| Pro and Believer | Unlimited |

There is no button to clear a single note's history on desktop or web. History is cleared when the note is locked, trashed and deleted, or when you log out.
Clearing is permanent — once cleared, earlier versions of that note are gone.
::: danger Locking a note erases its history Moving a note into the private vault deletes every stored version of it. Old unencrypted copies of a note you have chosen to lock would defeat the point of locking it. Restore anything you still need before you lock the note.

No, at the moment we have decided to keep note version history local only. If you logout from your account, previous versions of all your notes will be cleared.
No. Storage limits apply to attachments only. Note versions are stored on your device.
It goes with the note. Moving a note to trash and then deleting it permanently removes its versions too.
