Guide
Version history for AI-generated documents
August 22, 2026 · 2 min read
Ask an AI to change a document and it usually replaces the old one. The earlier draft is gone, and the chat will eventually disappear. DocStash saves every change as a new version at the same link, so you never lose your earlier work. Here is how.
Why AI edits lose your earlier work
- Changes replace the old version. When an AI rewrites your document, the previous one is gone, not saved.
- The chat is not a backup. Drafts live inside a chat that can be cleared or get too long to scroll back through.
Keep every version at one link
- Connect your AI to DocStash. Pick your tool below and follow the short setup. No coding, no keys.
- Save the document. You get one link like
docstash.ai/<slug>. - Every change is a new version. Ask for an edit and it saves as a new version at the same link. The old one is kept, not replaced.
- Undo any time. Look through the full history and bring back any earlier version with one click.
