Reverting back to previous versions of your Markdown pages

This is a bit of a game changer - WikiPack now keeps a history of changes made to your pages, and allows you to revert them back to a previous version!

It’s live now, and already provides access to changes made to your pages previously.

First web-based Markdown editor with Dropbox sync and change history?

For a wiki, page history is an expected feature, but for a web-based Markdown editor I believe this is a first. It is an extremely powerful feature that isn’t available as part of your standard suite of Markdown tools. The only other way to revert changes to your pages is to log into the Dropbox website and manually revert them back (or use a SCM system, or Apple’s Time Machine).

WikiPack is now quite possibly the first web application with Dropbox sync that provides a simple way of both editing your Markdown pages, and also viewing & reverting to a complete history of your changes. I’m really excited about this update!

Comparing changes

This is the first iteration of page histories, the next iteration that I’ll be working on is the ability to compare previous versions, so stay tuned.
