# How To Use Schedule History

## Objective

Review saved schedule versions and open an earlier version when you need to return to it.

## Environment

- You have access to **Scheduling** and an existing schedule.

## Resolution

1. Open **Workforce Operations** → **Scheduling**, then select the schedule whose history you want to review.
2. Save or discard any pending changes. In the upper-right toolbar, open the menu beside **Publish** and select **History**.
3. Select **Versions** to focus on saved schedule versions. The **All** tab also lists generation runs, repair runs, and validation checks. Versions appear newest first.
4. Review a version card's name, **Draft** or **Published** state, timestamp, saved-by name, and summary counts for created, updated, and deleted shifts and activities. Select **View details** to expand the card and see the affected agents and shift or activity times.
5. To inspect a version's full schedule in the planner or return to it, select **Restore** on its card. ZenOps opens that saved version in Scheduling. Resolve any pending edits before switching, then check the version name and state in the planner.

## Notes on this article

### Note: Restore does not publish a draft

After step 5 in resolution. Restore opens the selected saved version in the planner. It does not create a separate version or publish a draft; use the normal publishing workflow when a draft is ready.
