Backups and reverting changes

vly.ai automatically creates checkpoints of your project after every message iteration, ensuring you never lose work and can always return to a previous state.

How checkpoints work

Automatic checkpoints

vly.ai creates checkpoints after every single message when the AI agent makes changes:

• Every iteration creates a new checkpoint automatically
• Complete project state is saved each time
• No manual intervention required
• Seamless background process that doesn't interrupt your workflow

Checkpoint contents

Each checkpoint includes:

• Complete codebase at that point in time
• Database schema and any data changes
• Asset files and their organization
• Configuration files and environment settings

Managing project versions

Viewing checkpoint history

Access your project's checkpoint history through:

1. Settings tab → Version History
2. View all checkpoints with timestamps and descriptions
3. See every message iteration as a separate checkpoint

Checkpoint information

Each checkpoint shows:

• Timestamp: When the message was processed
• Description: What changes were made in that iteration
• File count: Number of files modified

Reverting changes

When to revert

Consider reverting when:

• Recent changes broke existing functionality
• The direction isn't working as expected
• You want to try a different approach

How to revert

1. Go to Settings → Version History
2. Select the checkpoint you want to return to
3. Click the revert button
4. Automatic restoration happens instantly

Important warning

• ⚠️ Reverting is permanent - you cannot undo a revert
• All work after the revert point is lost
• Choose your revert point carefully

Best practices

Safe experimentation

• Experiment freely knowing you can always revert
• Try multiple approaches by reverting and trying again
• Every message creates a checkpoint automatically

Team collaboration

• Every message from any team member creates a checkpoint
• Complete shared history of all iterations
• Reversion affects the entire team project

The checkpoint system gives you complete confidence to experiment and iterate quickly, knowing every single message creates a perfect restore point.
