# Project Versioning

> Save and restore complete project snapshots with audio previews. Compare versions by listening before loading.

**Project Versioning** saves complete project snapshots with an audio preview, so you can compare versions by ear before restoring one.

## Save a version

Press `⌘⇧S` to save a versioned snapshot. Gridshift saves the complete project state and creates an audio bounce (AAC) for preview. Use `⌘S` for regular saves, `⌘⇧S` for versioned snapshots.

Each version captures the full project state — tracks, clips, effects, automation, and all settings. The audio bounce lets you compare versions by ear without loading them.

## Version history

Access versions from the `Project` inspector tab (`⌘5`). Each version shows its name, date, and a play button for the audio preview.

Versions are stored inside the `.gsp` project bundle, so they travel with the project file — including when synced via iCloud.

## Preview and load a version

Click the play button on any version to hear the bounce without loading it. This lets you quickly A/B between different arrangements or mixes.

Click a version name to load it. Gridshift will prompt you to save current changes if needed. Version history is preserved when switching — you never lose access to other versions.
