File History

Every panel save
tracked automatically.

Turn on File History for a server and every save in the panel's file editor is snapshotted automatically. See exactly what changed in any file. Restore a single file or the entire server to any previous version - one click from the panel.

Covers saves made in the panel's Files and Browser IDE editors. Files uploaded via SFTP or installed through the Workshop/addon manager aren't snapshotted.

Snapshot Timeline

Automatic snapshots
on every save.

Turn on File History for a server and the panel snapshots automatically every time you save a file in the Files or Browser IDE editor. You can also create named snapshots any time before a big config change.

  • Automatic snapshot every time you save in the panel editor
  • Manual named snapshots before risky changes
  • Every snapshot shows which files changed
  • Covers panel-editor saves, not SFTP uploads or Workshop installs

Line-by-line diff

See exactly what
changed and when.

Every snapshot shows a line-by-line diff of what was added, removed, or modified. Find the exact line that broke something, then restore that file - without touching anything else.

  • Line-by-line diff for every file change
  • Restore a single file or the whole server
  • Pre-restore safety snapshot taken automatically
  • Works for configs, Lua files, and map files

When it saves you

The situations where it matters.

  1. You broke your server config

    You edited server.cfg, the server crashed on restart, and now nobody can join. Open snapshot history, see exactly what changed, find the line that caused it, and restore the previous version without guessing.

  2. A co-admin deleted the wrong folder

    Your co-admin meant to remove a broken addon but deleted the wrong directory. Instead of re-uploading everything from scratch, pull up the snapshot from before the deletion and restore just that folder.

  3. Someone edited a file you didn't expect

    You spot something off in an existing config or Lua file - a co-admin (or worse) changed it through the panel and you're not sure exactly what. Open File History, find the edit, see the line-by-line diff, and restore the clean version.
