# Version history and import from URL

Version history lets you recover previous drafts. Import from URL pulls existing web content into your editor.

## Version history

1. Click **More actions** ⋯ > **Version history**.
2. A modal shows saved versions with date/time and word count.
3. Click **Restore** next to any version to revert your draft.
4. Click **Save current version** to manually save a snapshot.

## Import from URL

1. Click **More actions** ⋯ > **Import from URL**.
2. A modal titled “Import content from website” appears.
3. Enter the URL and click **Import**.
4. The system extracts the main article content and replaces the current draft.

## Tips and best practices

* Save a manual version before importing or making large edits.
* Auto-saved versions expire after 30 days.
* Import works best with article-style pages.

## Troubleshooting

* **No versions listed** – This is a new project. Make an edit and wait for auto-save to create the first version.
* **Import returns incomplete content** – The page may use dynamic rendering. Try a different URL or paste the content manually.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.rankability.com/copywriter/version-history-and-import.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
