# Commit Browser & Time-Travel Restore

Explore historical snapshots of your notebook, view precise diff logs, and run time-travel note restores.

## Using the Commit Browser

1. Navigate to the **History** tab in the side panel or open **Settings -> Time Travel**.
2. Browse the timeline of commit snapshots generated automatically as you write.
3. Select any commit point to view a structural map showing files added, deleted, or changed.

## Time-Travel Restore

- Compare files side-by-side between the current state and a previous commit.
- Click **Time-Travel Restore** to revert your selected files or your entire vault back to the exact state at that timestamp.
