Multilo Docs

Versions & concurrent editing

Edit safely across multiple sessions, recover earlier drafts from history, and back versions with GitHub.

Your writing is safe to work on from more than one place, easy to roll back, and simple to version with Git — so inside a project, an experiment or a stray agent run doesn’t cost you a draft.

Concurrent-edit safety

Multiple sessions can work on the same document at once without clobbering each other. Edits compose rather than collide, so collaborating with yourself across windows — or with an agent while you write — stays safe.

History & trash

Inside a project, every write preserves the content it replaced: the last 40 versions of a document, kept for 14 days. Restoring one is itself recorded as a write, so the text you restored over is preserved too — a restore that turns out to be the wrong call is just as recoverable as the change that prompted it.

Deleted files go to a project trash instead of vanishing — the last 50 items, kept for 7 days — and you can put any of them back where they came from.

Both are per project, anchored to the .multilo folder at its root. A file you open from outside a Multilo project has no such anchor, so it gets neither: no history, and deleting it is permanent. Keep work you care about inside a project.

GitHub-backed versions

History is a recent-past safety net; Git is the permanent record. Because a project is an ordinary folder, you can back it with Git and GitHub for full version history — one click away. Commit milestones, branch an experiment, and keep a durable record of how your draft evolved for as long as you like.

Try things, then commit the keepers

A big agent pass or a restructure is genuinely low-stakes while history still covers it: put the old text back, and put it back again if that was the wrong call. Past 40 versions or 14 days it doesn’t, so commit the milestones you’d be sad to lose. See your first project.
