# Versions

> See the history of an entry, compare versions, revert, and publish an earlier version.

Andesine keeps the history of each entry as versions. Open an entry and select **Versions** in the panel on the right.

![The Versions panel with automatic and named versions, and a version compared with the current content.](https://andesine.app/docs/_andesine/assets/9a9e1b8a24ec82ed8eb45e82a43219a1916e2ee7991fecdb17a2916d9a6b9aaf.webp)

## Kinds of versions

| Label                | Created                                                           |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Automatic**        | While you edit. Andesine creates them as the content changes.     |
| **Manual**           | When you select **Create version**. You can give it a name.       |
| **Import**           | When content comes from an import or a sync, such as GitHub Sync. |
| **Schema migration** | Before a schema change converts the entry.                        |
| **Revert**           | When you revert the entry to an earlier version.                  |

Each version shows the **Contributors**: the members who made the changes. Versions that are on a channel show where they are published.

## Create a version

Select **Create version** and type an optional name, such as `Reviewed by legal`. Manual versions are useful before large changes, and they are not deleted automatically. To change the name later, select **Rename version**.

## Compare

Select **Compare with current** on a version to see what changed since then. Switch between **Show inline** and **Show side by side**. Select **Return to current** to go back to editing.

## Revert

Select **Revert to version**, then **Revert current**. The current content of the entry changes to the content of that version. Andesine saves the result as a new version, so you can undo the revert in the same way.

Reverting changes only the current content. It does not change what is published.

## Publish a version

Select **Publish** on a version to publish that version, not the current content. Select **Unpublish** to remove it from the channel. This is useful to publish a reviewed version while editing continues. See [Publishing and channels](https://andesine.app/docs/publishing/publishing-and-channels/).

## How long versions are kept

| Versions                                       | Free plan | Pro plan |
| ---------------------------------------------- | --------- | -------- |
| Automatic and schema migration versions        | 7 days    | 30 days  |
| Manual, import, revert, and published versions | Always    | Always   |

When a workspace moves from Pro to Free, automatic versions older than 7 days are deleted.
