How to restore previous version of my app?

Discussion
1

Cursor agent implemented some changes recently (not sure exactly when) and my app is no longer working as expected. I want to restore all files to a previous dated version using Cursor’s files Timeline backup feature. Is this possible, or do I need to restore one file at a time test the functioning of my app each time? I asked and Cursor chat doesn’t seem to have access to these Timeline files in order assist me in restoring.

If anyone has any better approaches I’d would be grateful to hear (I’m not a developer so please treat with kid gloves). Unfortunately I don’t have any commits to my Github repo yet so restoring from Github isn’t an option.

Hey, you can try restoring your project from a checkpoint that Cursor creates automatically.

Thanks. I tried this and Checkpoints dont seem to be working for me. My process is below:

-Click: “Restore Checkpoint”

-“Undo all changes up to this checkpoint” > Click: “Continue”

…My app does not revert to the version that was present at this Checkpoint

Do i need to also click “Send” on the prompt message at that checkpoint? Or what am i doing wrong?
