Committing and Commit History

Studio is being deprecated, please head over to the documentation page for Mattercraft, our most advanced 3D tool for the web, where you can find the most recent information and tutorials.

ZapWorks Studio automatically saves your progress as you work on a project.

Key stages in development can be marked by creating commits - these record the exact state of a project at the current point in time and can be returned to in the future.

Creating a Commit

Commits are created by clicking on the commit button at the top left-hand side of ZapWorks Studio.

A message must be entered for each commit - use this to describe the changes made between this and any previous commit.

Each commit records the entire state of the project, including all subsymbols.

Reverting to a Commit

The Commit History button that can be found in the ZapWorks’ menu located in the top left opens a window showing all of the previous commits in a project.

Double-clicking on a commit in the list returns the project to its state at the time of that commit.

Best Practice

It’s important to commit regularly - this way you have a record of the development of a project and can undo mistakes if necessary.

Write descriptive commit messages in case it’s necessary to revert to a commit in the future.
