Version Control

LinkFlow provides project snapshot capabilities and version tracking for linked assets. These features help you capture the state of your project at a point in time and monitor how source files change over time.

Snapshots capture the complete link state of your project, including:

• All linked library paths (with relative/absolute settings)
• Current health status of every link
• Active overrides and their property values
• Library groups and custom view configurations

Create a snapshot before major edits to have a fallback point. Snapshots are stored in the LinkFlow cache directory.

Save and restore your LinkFlow dashboard layout:

• Configure which sections are visible and their order.
• Apply filters, sorting, and grouping preferences.
• Save as a named preset and switch between presets as needed.
• Restore default view at any time.

When Live Mode is active, LinkFlow tracks changes to linked files:

• Timestamps of when changes were detected.
• Which data-blocks were modified (when available from file metadata).
• History of auto-reload events for audit purposes.

Version and snapshot settings are in Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → LinkFlow:

• Max snapshots — How many snapshots to retain (default: 20, range: 5–100).
• Snapshot frequency — How often LinkFlow auto-snapshots in Live Mode.
• Cache directory — Where snapshots and change history are stored. Must be on a local disk.
