# Checkpoints and task history

A task transcript is the durable history; eligible local turns can also expose a workspace checkpoint for undoing that turn’s file changes.

*Studio interface in English. Sample data.*

## Steps

1. Open the task and locate the user message before the change you want to reverse.
2. If Restore checkpoint is present, select it and read the confirmation carefully.
3. Confirm the restore, then inspect the affected files and run the project’s checks.
4. Use the unchanged transcript to understand what was attempted before the restore.

## Expected result

Tracked workspace files return to their pre-goal snapshot while the conversation remains available.

> **Note:** Restore appears only when a real snapshot exists. It does not move Git HEAD, and legacy checkpoint restore is unavailable in strict Cloud V2 tasks.
