Use Undo, Redo and version history

Undo an editing mistake

Use Undo after an unwanted edit. Review the preview after each step, especially when an operation changed several sections or styles. Use Redo if you undid too much.

Undo, redo and editing-history controls for a sample CV.

1. Undo the most recent editing operation.
2. Redo an operation after undoing it.
3. Open the list of editing operations to inspect or revisit a step.

Undo steps belong to the open tab. They describe operations such as Edit field, Reorder, Change template, Change style and Apply AI suggestion, and they are gone when you close the document. For anything further back, use version history.

Go back to an earlier version

WhizCV keeps earlier versions of your CVs, cover letters and templates on the server, so they are there on any device and after a reload.

1. Open version history from the saved icon next to the document name, or from the arrow next to Undo and then Version history. On a phone, open the history arrow and choose the Versions tab, or choose Version history in the More sheet.
2. Select a version. The document shows it read-only, and the bar at the top says which version you are looking at.
3. Choose Restore this version to bring it back, or Back to editing to return to the current document.

Restoring never deletes anything. Your current document is kept as a version first, and the message after a restore offers Undo. You can also restore the Before restore version later from the list.

When WhizCV keeps a version

A version is the document as it was before a change. WhizCV keeps one:

• when you start editing again after at least 10 minutes without saving
• once an hour during a long editing session without a break
• before you switch template or import a file, items or a header
• before a restore, before an AI change is applied, before your coach edits, and when you request a review
• when you choose Name current version

Opening or reading a document keeps nothing. WhizCV does not store the same content twice, so a version is only added when something changed.

Name a version or make a copy

Choose Name current version, or Name this version in a version's menu, to give it a name such as Sent to Spotify. Use Only named versions to see just the ones you named. Choose Make a copy in a version's menu to open that version as a new document and leave the original as it is.

How long versions are kept

Every version is kept. Your plan decides which ones you see:

• Free shows the versions from the last 7 days and up to 3 named versions per document. Named versions, coach edits and review versions always show.
• Pro shows every version, however old, and you can name as many as you like.

Older versions on the free plan are not deleted. They show again when you upgrade to Pro, and moving from Pro to Free hides them without removing them.

Changes conflict between browser tabs

Keep a copy of any unsaved writing before reloading. Open the latest saved document and check which change already reached it. Reapply only the missing work. If an AI proposal was based on the earlier version, ask for a fresh proposal after checking the current document.

Undo and restore change the document, not a file you already downloaded or sent to someone. Download a new file after correcting the document.
