Version History

Every time a video (or screenshot) is rendered, ScreenCI keeps the result as a version. One version is always the selected one: it is what a public URL serves and what embeds display. Version history lets you keep older renders around, compare them, and roll back by selecting a previous one, without re-recording.

Version history is a paid feature. On the Free plan a video keeps only its single latest version, so there is nothing to roll back to. Any paid plan retains multiple versions per language.

You will learn

What a version is

A version is one finished render of a video: the encoded media, its thumbnail, and the exact render options, narration, and overlays used to produce it. Because each render is preserved, you can change something in Editor, render again, and still fall back to the previous look if you prefer it.

Versions are tracked per language: an English render and a German render of the same video each have their own independent history.

Selecting a version

The selected version is the one served at the video’s public URL and shown in embeds. Pick which render to serve with the Select button in the Versions list, or enable Auto-select latest so the newest finished render is always served automatically. Selecting an older version is an instant rollback: no re-recording, no re-rendering.

Retention

Paid plans keep multiple non-selected versions per language so you always have a recent history to compare against and roll back to. When the number of kept versions is exceeded, the oldest non-selected versions are pruned first; the selected version is never pruned.
