Version Control

Full Version History

Every file upload is stored as a numbered version with a commit message, timestamp, and author. Scroll back through your entire history and restore any previous version with one click. No more overwriting critical work.

  • Unlimited version history per file
  • Per-version commit messages
  • One-click rollback to any version
  • Version diffing (compare any two)

File Locking

When you're actively editing a file, lock it so teammates know not to upload conflicting changes. Locks are visible across your whole team and can be released when you're done.

  • Lock any file while editing
  • Team-wide visibility of locked files
  • Automatic lock release on upload
  • Admin override for emergencies

Audit Trail

A complete, immutable log of every action taken on every file and repository. Know exactly who uploaded what, when they did it, and what they changed. Essential for regulated industries.

  • Timestamped action log per repository
  • Activity heatmap across your workspace
  • Filter by user, action, or file
  • Export-ready for compliance reviews

Collaboration

Organizations & Teams

Structure your workspace the way your organization actually works. Create an organization, build teams within it, and assign repositories to specific teams with granular access control.

  • Unlimited organizations
  • Nested team hierarchy
  • Per-repository team permissions
  • Roles: Owner, Admin, Member, Guest

Review Requests

Request a formal review from a teammate before a design is considered approved. Reviewers can approve, request changes, or leave detailed feedback — all tracked within the platform.

  • Request review from any team member
  • Approve or request-changes workflow
  • Review status tracked per version
  • Email notifications for reviewers

Version Comments

Leave comments directly on a specific file version or on a saved 3D view. Have threaded conversations, resolve comments when addressed, and keep all feedback alongside the file it relates to.

  • Comments on versions and 3D views
  • Threaded replies
  • Mark comments as resolved
  • Mention teammates with @
