developers who spend a lot of time in team creates will come to find that their their place version history is clogged up by thousands of autosaves. it’s a good thing of course, but if you ever have to go back into your version history, this ends up creating a massive hassle. the only way to go through these is to scroll through a list with thousands of entries, or use the obsolete website version history, which has less features and requires clicking on each individual page. this eats up a lot of time, and literally hurts fingers.
version history should therefore be improved to help speed up the workflow of developers who reference previous versions frequently.
some sort of improved process to search through these entries, either by time and/or by version number, or some other metric, would solve a lot of hassle when it comes to this process. maybe a way to tag specific versions? just some way to speed up this process, please.
Yes! Version history can be a lifesaver, but if we could add optional notes when saving that will show up next to each version, it would be a huge help in finding the version we are looking for. These notes would be used for example if the dev reaches a milestone and adds the note: “proximityprompt issue fixed and working” for example. Then we see the small note when searching through the droves of version saves.
This would be a huge time saver!
Another bump. I don’t use any team create enabled sessions but I would love the ability to add notes to versions. I have to keep a notepad for each experience I own to keep notes of all the different versions, which is annoying. This update would be a huge quality of life improvement.
just chiming in again to point out this is still a problem for us and has only gotten worse with the 3 years of updates our games have had since then. we’ve even gotten to a point where we’ve intentionally split off another version of our development place just so we can have a fresh “instance” of version history to make getting to earlier versions easier for future us.
Bump to this topic. Just spent 10 agonizing minutes scrolling through 10,000 versions to grab game content from last year. Searching for a specific version # or date would be soooo nice.
As a side note: Please add such sorting features to the website version history page too! I had spent an additional 10 minutes clicking through each page, only to choose the wrong version and have the whole thing refresh, sending me back to the start. Ugh!
You can type https://assetdelivery.roblox.com/v1/asset/?id=0&version=1 into your web browser to access an older version by renaming the file to a .rbxl.
Unfortunately this does not give the date of the file.
I feel your pain, I legit just had to do this for an update pushed over 1 year ago for a file and obscure piece of code needed for it. a simple search bar at the top that let us skip to a date we need is all that would be needed or at least version numbers
This!! This alone would help out a LOT of devs with finding older versions. Currently I have 13k versions on one of my old games and I need to scroll through all of it to get something from an old version.
