# Save points > What a save point is, how it differs from autosave, and what the History tab lets you do with one: read it, compare it, restore it. Jump to a section on the website - [What you can do with one](https://www.inkwell.software/help/version-control/save-points#section-what-you-can-do-with-one) - [Finding a save point](https://www.inkwell.software/help/version-control/save-points#section-finding-a-save-point) - [Making one](https://www.inkwell.software/help/version-control/save-points#section-making-one) - [How many](https://www.inkwell.software/help/version-control/save-points#section-how-many) Inkwell autosaves continuously, so the draft on screen is always kept. A save point is a moment you choose to name and keep separately: the script exactly as it was when you pressed the shortcut, with a label, for as long as the project exists. ## What you can do with one From the **History** tab in the right sidebar: - **Read it.** Select a save point to open that version read-only, with the label and time at the top. - **Compare it.** Choose **Compare** to see the changes between it and the current draft — or between any two save points — as markup on the page. See [Changes and markup](https://www.inkwell.software/help/version-control/changes-and-markup). - **Restore it.** Choose **Restore** to make that version the current draft. The draft you are leaving is kept as a save point automatically, so restoring never loses anything. - **Export it.** The export dialog can produce a PDF, FDX, or Fountain file of any save point, not just the current draft. See [Export PDF, FDX, and Fountain](https://www.inkwell.software/help/writing/export-pdf-fdx-fountain). Until you have made one, the History tab explains the idea and offers the shortcut. ## Finding a save point Choose **Filter** to narrow History by person or date. The row shows your active filters; clear them to return to the full list. Choose **What's new** to read a summary of recent changes. ## Making one `⌘⇧S` / `Ctrl+Shift+S` asks for a label; `⌘S` / `Ctrl+S` keeps the moment without stopping to name it. The walkthrough is [Make a save point](https://www.inkwell.software/help/getting-started/make-a-save-point). ## How many Each project keeps a number of save points that depends on your plan — fifty on the free plan, hundreds or thousands on paid ones ([Plans and quotas](https://www.inkwell.software/help/account/plans-and-quotas) has the figures). Older unlabeled save points are thinned first when a project reaches its limit; a labeled one is kept until you delete it. > **Note: Save points belong to a draft line** > > Each draft line has its own history. A save point you make on an alternate line does not appear on Main until you incorporate it — see [Draft lines](https://www.inkwell.software/help/version-control/draft-lines). ## What next - [Make a save point](https://www.inkwell.software/help/getting-started/make-a-save-point): Name the moment your draft is in so you can compare against it later or bring it back, in one shortcut from the page. - [Changes and markup](https://www.inkwell.software/help/version-control/changes-and-markup): How Plot shows the difference between two versions: by scene and by line, on the page, with the same accept-or-reject reading whether a person or a skill made the change. - [The revision log](https://www.inkwell.software/help/version-control/the-revision-log): The History tab's timeline of everything that happened to the script: save points, milestones, incorporates, and issued revisions, in order. --- Canonical page:
