Problem
As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to access previously published builds from more than a few days/weeks back via version history. Finding versions months or years back can be extremely tedious and time consuming.
Use Cases
Here are a few reasons why we developers might need to access builds that far back
- Re-using assets for events/holidays that have since been removed from the codebase/storage
- Developing backwards compatibility for past data structures
Current workflow
Unless I have a specific save for that event, the only way to get those assets is via version history. With a full studio team in Team Create, we have accumulated tens of thousands of versions just via autosaves. This means that to access builds from years ago, we have to manually scroll through thousands of versions, likely developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in the process.
Proposed solution
There are two sorts that would help significantly with this problem:
- Date range: Allow user to limit versions to only those within the specified range
- Published: Allow user to limit to only published versions
Thanks!
