# Version history

> Track every change to files in your context repository

## Overview

Version history shows how a file changed over time. Use it to understand when a file changed, where the change came from, and which version is currently active.

Version history is available in the right sidebar of every file.

## Version entries

Each entry represents one version of the selected file.

A version entry shows:

* **Source**: Where the change came from, such as a connected source or workspace member
* **Change type**: Whether the change was automated or created directly
* **Version**: Either `latest` or a short version identifier
* **Timestamp**: When the version was created

The latest version represents the current editable version of the file.

## Change types

### Automated change

An automated change is created from connected source data.

For example, Qontext may update a customer file after new CRM activity, new documentation, or other connected source changes.

### Direct update

A direct update is created through the Qontext platform, MCP, or API.

For example, a user or agent may create or update a file directly in the context repository.

***

## Viewing previous versions

Select a version from the list to inspect that version of the file.

Previous versions are shown in read-only mode, so you can review historical content without changing the current file.

To return to the current file, select the version marked `latest`.
