# Context History & Snapshots

## History

Track every context you generate over time.

### Features

- **Automatic saving** - Every generated context is saved with a timestamp
- **Search and filter** - Find past contexts quickly
- **Diff comparison** - Compare versions to see what changed
- **One-click restore** - Copy any past context back to clipboard
- **Configurable retention** - Control storage limits and auto-cleanup

### Settings

| Setting | Description | Default |
|---------|-------------|---------|
| **Enabled** | Save generated contexts | On |
| **Storage folder** | Where to store history | `.context-history` |
| **Max entries** | Limit stored entries | 50 |
| **Auto-cleanup** | Delete after X days | 30 |

### Usage

```
Ctrl+P > "Promptfire: View context history"
```

Browse, search, compare, and restore any previous context.

## Snapshots

Snapshots save a context "recipe" — the exact combination of notes, settings, and template — so you can replay it later.

### Usage

```
Ctrl+P > "Promptfire: View context snapshots"
```

Browse, replay, or delete saved snapshots. Replaying a snapshot re-reads the files with current content and re-applies the template, giving you a fresh context from the same recipe.

Snapshots are managed in **Settings > History > Snapshots**.
