Version History and Restore Function for Whiteboards
future
maru
I regularly use ClickUp’s Whiteboard feature, and I would like to request the implementation of a "version history and restore function."
Here are some situations where I feel this functionality is especially necessary:
- When multiple team members are editing simultaneously, important elements may accidentally be deleted. Without version history, it is impossible to restore the previous state, which causes significant disruption.
- As projects progress and Whiteboards are continuously updated, there are times when I want to revert to a previous idea or layout. However, since there is no history tracking, this is currently very difficult.
To solve these issues, it would be extremely helpful if Whiteboards had the ability to “view changes and restore to a previous version when needed.” A system similar to Google Docs’ version history would give me confidence in collaboration and greatly improve overall team productivity.
ClickUp is an outstanding service that has significantly boosted my efficiency and productivity. I deeply appreciate the continuous hard work of the development team, and I would be very grateful if you could consider implementing this improvement.

Whiteboards history/snapshot
It would be great to get some sort of history or snapshot feature for Whiteboards.
It can be easy to accidentally delete parts of Whiteboards, or to want to remember how it looked at a certain point, so being able to go back through history would be useful.
This could be quite intensive on the server side, of course, so maybe a snapshot feature would be better. Somewhere were you can save how the Whiteboard looked at certain points.
Currently I do this by creating Whiteboard duplicates, but this can become somewhat unmanageable as ClickUp doesn't have folders for views, so you end up with a lot of view tabs for different versions of the same Whiteboard.

Upvote on the whiteboard history feature
Same here, just happened. Last night's work on the Whiteboard got lost. Frustrating indeed, moving back to Miro for white board functionality.

Just lost 4 hours of work, what a shame ! Too many bugs on clickup. It's your biggest, if not the only, issue you need to work on.

We have a way to allow you to restore from history in whiteboards. If you ever run into a problem, please reach out to us, and we'll tell you how. It's more of a developer feature though, so we're not broadcasting it until we can make it look better and add it in!

This is appalling not to be able to revert back to a previous version when CLICKUP cause the issue. I'm in the middle of fixing all my processes up because of a recent update and was told, bad luck nothing can be done except post here.
There goes 3hrs of my afternoon. This needs to be addressed.

Jamie Woods: I'm terribly sorry that this happened! Can you please reach out to support and we'll see what we can do to get your work back ASAP.

Zach - I've already fixed it, but if I was a bigger company that had hundreds of shared list, it would have been a nightmare to fix, I'm lucky it's just me and I knew exactly which list to share.

Need this! I experienced a glitch where all my tasks in the Personal List one day disappeared, and the list started anew. I have no idea why and when I reached out to Clickup support their engineers had no way to restore my lost tasks and work! Very strange this doesn't exist already.

Would generally like versions of whiteboards. Rather than duplicating it and creating more and more Views tabs, it would be cool to have versions, or pages within a whiteboard where you can store versions.
