# Restore a note version

UpNote automatically saves **previous versions** of your notes whenever you make edits. This allows you to review past changes and restore an earlier version if needed — helpful for long notes, detailed writing, or recovering accidental edits.

**Note:** Version history is **saved locally on each device** and is **not synced** across devices.\
Each device keeps its own independent set of versions.

### 🖥 On Desktop (Windows & macOS)

#### **View Version History**

  **Settings → Backup → Maximum number of versions**
* **Mobile:**\
  **Settings → General → Maximum number of version history**

### Delete Version History (Per Device)

This removes all local version history for your notes on that specific device.
