Undo changes and restore earlier versions
Go back to an earlier version of your animation, or reset it to start again.
Every change the AI saves to your animation is kept as a numbered version. If you don't like a change, you can go back to an earlier version.
How your animations are saved
- Each animation has its own name (also called a document ID). If you don't give one, the AI uses default.
- Your animations are saved online. They stay there between messages, chats, and server restarts.
- Use a different name for each separate animation, and the same name when you want to keep editing one.
- If something goes wrong while the AI is making a change, that change is cancelled and your animation stays as it was.
Restore an earlier version
- Ask the AI: "List the history of [name]."
- The AI shows up to the last 32 versions, newest first.
- Ask it to restore the one you want, for example: "Restore the version before the color change."
Restoring doesn't delete anything. It saves the old version as a new version, so you can always go forward again.
- Restoring doesn't change your exported files, uploaded media, or the linked workspace file.
- History only includes changes saved after the server's v0.7.0 release. Older changes may not be listed.
Reset an animation
A reset clears your animation so you can start again.
Before you reset: Download or save any files you want to keep.
- The AI must ask you to confirm a reset in a form. Your AI app must be able to show this form. If it can't, the AI can't reset the animation.
- After a reset, the next Open in Lottie Creator creates a new file, even if you restore the scene.
- Animations you create with Creator MCP can't be deleted at the moment, but you can reset one to clear it. You can delete individual files by asking the AI, such as exported videos or images, and fonts or audio you uploaded. To delete your animation, go to your LottieFiles workspace and delete the animation from your workspace as usual.
