Restore an earlier document version in Pixelmator Pro on Mac
Each time you save a Pixelmator Pro document, a new, updated version is of the document created. Older versions are not overwritten. As a result, you can browse earlier versions, save a copy of an earlier version, or restore a document to an earlier version.
View or restore an earlier version
With the document open, choose File > Revert To, then choose Browse All Versions.
The window refreshes to show a thumbnail of your current version on the left and a stack of thumbnails of previous versions on the right. A vertical timeline appears on the right side of the screen.
To view earlier versions, click tick marks along the timeline, or click the arrows next to the stack of document thumbnails.
To see a full-size view of a version, click its thumbnail.
Do one of the following:
Restore a previous version: Click Restore below its thumbnail. A restored version replaces the current version.
Save a copy of a previous version as a new document: Press and hold the Option key, then click Restore a Copy. Pixelmator Pro opens the copy in a new window, where you can edit it and save it with a new name. The original version also remains open in its own window.
Close this view and return to your document: Click Done.
Revert to your last opened or last saved version
With the current version of your document open, choose File > Revert To, then choose one of the following (you may not see all of these options):
Last Opened: All changes you made to the document since you last opened it are deleted.
Last Saved: All changes you made to the document since you last saved it are deleted.
Click Revert or Done.
