Edit Versioning

Blue Synergy saves the original content of a clip the first time you edit it, so you can always compare or revert.

When you trim whitespace, fix formatting, or adjust a clip’s content, the original is preserved automatically. You can see what changed and revert with one click.

How to use it

Editing is automatic — just edit a clip in the preview panel. The original is captured silently on your first change.

Spotting edited clips:

  • The TXT/CODE badge in the clip list turns orange for edited clips.
  • The preview status bar shows an edited badge.
  • Enable the optional pencil column via right-click on any column header.

Compare to original:

  • Click the swap-arrows button in the preview toolbar.
  • Or right-click an edited clip → Diff to Original.
  • Or press Ctrl+D with an edited clip selected.

Revert to original:

  • Click the curved-arrow (revert) button in the preview toolbar.
  • Or right-click → Revert to Original.

Filter for edited clips:

  • In the search bar: *edited=true (edited only) or *edited=false (unedited only).

Tips & gotchas

  • The original is captured on the first edit only. Further edits update the content but keep the original fixed.
  • Reverting is permanent — there is no undo for a revert. The original is cleared.
  • Image clips cannot be edited, so edit versioning doesn’t apply to them.
  • Toggle the orange edited badge on/off under View → Show Edited Badge.
  • CRLF → LF on first edit: Text copied from Windows apps is stored with \r\n line endings. The first time the editor auto-saves, it normalizes these to \n. The diff to original will then show every line as changed — even if you only touched one word. Enable Ignore Whitespace in the diff options (hamburger icon) to filter this out and see only your real changes.
