Unable to revert to an earlier version in Sketch cloud

Is it really so, that Sketch cloud version control doesn’t have a capability to revert to an earlier version of the cloud file?

I had to download a previous version and replace the file manually, as “Revert to…” Had no options. (I’m guessing that only works with local files)

Hi Jouni, and welcome to the Forum!

Thanks for joining and sharing this. There’s a way to revert to a previous version for Workspace documents, here are the steps:

  1. Download the version you need from the web app
  2. Open it with Sketch
  3. Upload it using the Workspace button on the top right (see the image below)

updateDocument

This will effectively revert you to a previous version.

Local documents can have previous versions. You need to enable macOS Autosave on Sketch settings:

When Autosave is enabled, you’ll be able to use the option File → Revert to.

It’s also worth noting that you need to make and save changes locally for Autosave to pick them up and create a version, if you download a Workspace document version it will have no previous versions.

I hope this helps and welcome again :raised_hands:

My colleague @dfmedrano already went through the process in the best possible way. If you ever need something quick to share, we also have this prototype that should also help!
