What it does

Checkpoints make revision less risky. When you try a new direction, you can compare it with where the project was before and roll back if the earlier version had the better feel.

How to use it

  1. 1Make a change or explore an alternate direction.
  2. 2Review the evolving session as a series of drafts.
  3. 3Return to a previous version when that is the version worth keeping.

Useful when

Try it in a real session.

Start with an idea, then keep the project open long enough to make it yours.
