Keep a Named Save Point in Plot
Write until the draft is worth keeping, save it with a name, and find it at the top of version history whenever you need it.
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.
