	== Overview ==		== Overview ==
	The Version History ~~system~~ in ACT 3 AI ~~enables creators~~ to ~~track~~, ~~branch~~, and ~~manage changes across their projects~~. It ~~supports non-destructive editing~~, ~~collaborative iteration~~, and ~~rollback functionality—ensuring that every creative decision is preserved~~ and ~~recoverable~~.		The '''[[Version_History\|Version History]]''' feature in [[ACT3AI\|ACT 3 AI]] provides a detailed record of all changes made to [[Projects\|projects]], [[Scripts\|scripts]], [[Scenes\|scenes]], and [[Build_Video\|video assemblies]].
			It tracks edits, saves, and renders over time, allowing creators and teams to review, compare, and restore earlier iterations.

	== ~~1. Purpose~~ ==		== Key Features ==
	* ~~Track changes at the~~ script, ~~scene, shot~~, and ~~asset level~~		* Change Log: Full timeline of edits with timestamps and contributor names.
	* ~~Allow safe experimentation through branching and merging~~		* Snapshots: Auto-saved points created during [[Script_Editing\|script editing]], [[Timeline_View\|timeline adjustments]], and [[Build_Video\|video editing]].
	* ~~Enable collaborative review with comment threads per version~~		* Manual Checkpoints: Users can mark important milestones (e.g., “Draft v1,” “Final Cut”).
	* ~~Provide visual diff and rollback tools for creative control~~		* Comparison Tools: Highlight differences between two versions of a script, timeline, or storyboard.
			* Rollback & Restore: Recover older versions without losing new ones.

	== ~~2. Versioning Scope~~ ==		== Where Version History Applies ==
	* ~~Projects~~		* Scripts: Scene revisions, AI-generated rewrites, and dialogue changes.
	* Scripts and ~~Dialogue~~		* Timeline: Adjustments in pacing, sequencing, and transitions.
	* ~~Story Beats~~ and ~~Scene Structure~~		* Storyboards: Visual changes in [[Storyboard_Panels\|Storyboard Panels]].
	* ~~Camera and Cinematography Settings~~		* Digital Assets: [[Set_Design\|Sets]], [[Digital_Actors\|Digital Actors]], and [[Style_Presets\|style presets]].
	* ~~Character Design and Performance~~		* Final Renders: Records of outputs in [[Render_Queue\|Render Queue]] and [[Export_Distribution\|exports]].
	* ~~Visual~~ Assets (Sets, ~~Lighting~~, ~~Costumes)~~
	* Render ~~Output Metadata~~

	== ~~3. Key Features~~ ==		== How to Access ==
	* '''Auto-Save Checkpoints:''' Save state after major edits or ~~renders~~		# Open your [[Editor\|Editor Workspace]] or [[Projects\|Project Dashboard]].
	* ~~'''Manual Snapshots:''' User-created named versions~~		# Click File → Version History.
	* ~~'''Branch & Merge:''' Explore alternate storylines, then re-integrate~~		# Browse the chronological list of changes.
	* ~~'''Compare View:''' Side-by-side visual or script diff~~		# Select one or more versions to preview.
	* '''Lock Versions:''' Prevent changes to ~~approved content~~		# Choose to duplicate, rollback, or lock.
	* '''Restore Point:''' Roll back to ~~any previous version~~

	== 4. Collaboration ~~Support~~ ==		== Collaboration Integration ==
	* ~~Comment threads tied~~ to ~~specific versions~~		* Works with [[Organization_Management\|Organization Management]] to track changes by user.
	* ~~Reviewer tags~~ and ~~approvals~~		* Shows edits made by [[Editors\|editors]], [[Reviewers\|reviewers]], and [[Admins\|admins]].
	* ~~Version summaries for tracking what changed and why~~		* Approved versions can be locked to prevent further changes.
			* Reviewers can comment on specific versions without altering them.

	== ~~5. Naming & Metadata~~ ==		== Best Practices ==
	~~Each version includes:~~		* Use manual checkpoints for critical milestones.
	* ~~Timestamp~~		* Name versions clearly (e.g., “Client Feedback v2”).
	* ~~Creator/editor name~~		* Regularly review history to avoid unnecessary [[Credit_System\|credit consumption]].
	* ~~Description of changes~~		* Lock final versions for compliance and delivery.
	* ~~Affected scenes, characters, or assets~~

	== ~~6. Visual Diff Tools~~ ==		== Troubleshooting ==
	* ~~Shot comparison: keyframe~~-to-~~keyframe visual delta~~		* History not updating → Ensure auto-save is enabled.
	* ~~Dialogue diff: colored text changes with markup~~		* Too many versions → Archive older versions or branch projects.
	* ~~Lighting or camera path animation previews~~		* Rollback failed → Re-open the [[Editor\|Editor Workspace]] and reapply.
			* Missing contributor data → Check [[Organization_Management\|team roles and permissions]].

	== ~~7. Access & Permissions~~ ==		== Example Workflow ==
	* ~~Editors and Owners can create branches and merge~~		1. Script created via [[AI_Wizard\|AI Wizard]].
	* ~~Viewers can browse history but not modify~~		2. Revised in [[Script_Editing\|Script Editor]].
	* ~~Roles can restrict overwrite or deletion of locked versions~~		3. Saved as v1.0 – First Draft.
			4. Storyboards added in [[Storyboard_Panels\|Storyboard Panels]].
			5. Final locked as v2.0 – Approved before sending to [[Render_Queue\|Render Queue]].

	== ~~8. Storage Impact~~ ==		== See Also ==
	* ~~Versioned assets consume cloud storage quota~~		* [[Version_Control\|Version Control]]
	* ~~System prompts to archive or delete older versions if quota is exceeded~~		* [[Projects\|Projects]]
	* ~~Archived versions remain accessible in read-only mode~~		* [[Script_Editing\|Script Editing]]
			* [[Timeline_View\|Timeline View]]
			* [[Storyboard_Panels\|Storyboards & Panels]]
			* [[Build_Video\|Build Video]]
			* [[Organization_Management\|Organization Management]]

	~~== 9. Export Options ==~~		[[Category:ACT 3 AI Features]]
	* Export specific versions as:		[[Category:Collaboration]]
	* Final Draft (for scripts)
	* FBX/GLB (for scenes or characters)
	* MP4/MOV (for video renders)
	* YAML/JSON (for metadata snapshots)

	~~== 10~~. ~~Roadmap ==~~		[https://act3ai.com/contact Contact Us] if you have questions about version history or restoring earlier drafts.
	* Timeline-based visual version history
	* AI-suggested reverts based on performance analytics
	* Version tagging for milestones (e.~~g., "Festival Cut", "Client Review")~~
	* Multi-user conflict resolution with live merge previews
