History view (Where should this be located?)

You can access autosaved versions of the configurations. This is useful when a lot of changes have been made and it is necessary to roll things back a little. 
 
Reactor will autosave the configurations every time a change is detected. These are accessible from the History View page. To find it you can write /history-view after the IP of the Blue Pill device. Another way of entering the History View is through the icon placed in various parts of reactor. 
Here is the main ways:
  • Being on the Home tab, and navigating into



How long back can I go?
Every change from the last 24 hours is saved. After that it will be combined to 1 file per day, and saved for 10 days.
It is also possible to add tags to individual versions. When a tag is added to the version, it will no longer be deleted based on the default time scale and will persist.

What is being saved?
It's important to remember that these autosaved versions are only saving information from the Configuration tab. Although if you change things related to configurations, from the Home tab, it may also be saved, and therefore revertible from the History View.

Example: Adding a Panel on the Home tab will not be part of an autosave, but choosing a configuration for it will.

Understanding the page:

  1. You need to choose the project you want to work with. It will automatically choose the active project unless you access the page by writing /history-view.

  2. Now you see the versions that have been autosaved.
    - You can delete a version by pressing the red trashcan image-1657783983291.png.
    - You can add a tag to a version (which will make sure it will not be deleted or merged automatically) image-1657784298669.png.
    - The version with the green square saying "latest" is the version you are on right now. By clicking the yellow "Set as latest" you will change what version of the configuration is chosen.
    - If you want to preview the code for the versions before choosing, you can click anywhere on a version and a new section will open.

  3. Here you have the opportunity to navigate the code, an make out what configuration is included in the given version. Press the blue "Format" button if the code is not already visually set up for easy reading.

  4. When you preview code it will inform you what version you are actively looking at, by writing "Active" in green.

    But be aware a version is not chosen before it says "latest"
