## Name the moment, not the change

Plot saves as you type, so no work is lost. A save point is a moment you choose and name, like “Before the table read”, and it stays in the project’s history for as long as the project exists.

Name what the version is rather than what you did to it. “Producer notes applied” is easy to find again months later; “edits” is not.

## Come back to it any time

History lists every save point, newest first. Select one to read that version, compare it with today’s draft, or restore it.

The keyboard gets you there faster: Ctrl+Shift+S (Cmd+Shift+S on a Mac) asks for a name, and Ctrl+S saves one without stopping.
