Version rollback - checkpoints saved?

Bug Reports
1

If I rollback to a previous version of Cursor will my chats and checkpoints be saved and accessible after the rollback? Or will they be deleted?

Checkpoints aren’t working for me in the most recent update!

Hey, if you rollback changes, they won’t be available to you anymore. Use Git, it’s easy and convenient.

I’m very upset too, but update 0.46 now works terribly with checkpoints. We discussed it here:

And git is completely different! We are not talking about commits, but about short checkpoints during AI generation!

No clue how they don’t have this resolved yet. It’s a core feature of the app especially for no-coders. My project is at stale mate until I can rollback to a checkpoint before my app broke.

Have devs given any indication that they are working on a fix yet?

Thanks but I don’t have any commits yet so checkpoints my only hope

Interestingly the issue I refer to here is not the one highlighted in your thread, but I have that issue also; only a selection of my prompts have Checkpoints on them. How have the devs not responded to your thread yet?

I think i may have been able to get checkpoints to work (by relaunching Cursor.)
However when i rollback to a previous checkpoint i can see some code changes in my OpenAI_Service file but when i run the app i can see not changes to the UI.
Just to double check; do checkpoint rollbacks effect individual files or the whole app state (all files). If you have a given file open infront of you does that make a difference in (focus the rollback) in any way?

Regardless, checkpoint dont seem to be appearing on every prompt as expected still.

Good news. I just rolled back to version 0.45. I opened my previous composer from version 0.46. And lo and behold! It turns out that checkpoints have been created. It’s just that for some reason they weren’t displayed in version 0.46. So, there is hope that this is a real interface bug and in future versions the checkpoints will reappear after each step of the AI.

So, I checked your question: when you roll back to the previous version, the checkpoints are saved.

Oh perfect. Thanks! Are there any big feature differences between 0.45 and 46?

Just to confirm; in 0.46 those little “+” buttons (when you hover over the left side of the Chat messages), do indeed work. They’re a strange unobvious UI implementation but they do offer restoration back to any code change Checkpoint.
