Recover from a bad PRODUCT.md / ARCHITECTURE.md edit

If you used the Documents Panel Quick Edit mode and saved something you regret — accidentally deleted a section, mangled the markdown — recovery is one click.

Use Version History

  1. Open the Documents HUD icon.
  2. Pick the doc you want to recover (PRODUCT.md or ARCHITECTURE.md).
  3. Click History in the toolbar.
  1. The dropdown lists the last 10 git commits touching that file. Pick one (timestamps + commit subjects help you find it).

Preview before restoring

Selecting a version puts the viewer into Preview mode — a yellow banner across the top, the historical content rendered read-only below.

You can scroll through the historical version to confirm it's the one you want. Click Back to current to exit preview without restoring.

Restore

When you've confirmed, click Restore this version. Jorv Builder writes the historical content back to disk, the Auto-Commit Pipeline captures the change as a normal commit, and your "fix" is in the git log alongside the original mistake.

Why not just git revert?

You can! The Documents Panel Version History uses the same git data; it's just faster than dropping to the terminal for the common case.
