Recipe History
Every time you save a recipe, Mirepoix records that version. You can look back through earlier versions, see exactly what changed, and bring an old version back.
Open the history
Open a recipe, then click History in the action row below the recipe header. The history expands in place, right under the button, with the same smooth reveal as the Scale panel — the recipe’s title, description, and the action row stay put.
The panel is a strip with arrows and a dropdown:
- ◄ and ► step to the older and newer version.
- The dropdown lists every version by date, with its note or the kind of change. The oldest entry is labeled Original — the recipe as you first created it. Pick any one to jump straight to it.
The recipe body below the strip shows that version, with everything that differs from the recipe as it stands now marked: added text is highlighted, and removed text is struck through. When the version’s title, tags, or other front matter differ from the current recipe, those changes appear at the top of the version’s body, above the marked-up text.
Above the body, a small label tells you how far back you’re looking — N edits behind current for an older version, or Current version for the latest one. The current version has nothing to differ from, so it shows without marks.
If you left a note when you saved, it appears as a centered caption below the version dropdown.
Click ✕ close to collapse the panel and return to the live recipe.
The History button only appears once a recipe has saved versions to look back through.
Restore an earlier version
When you’re viewing any version that isn’t the current one, a Restore this version button appears in the strip. Click it to bring that version’s content back as a new save.
Restoring never erases anything. It adds the old content as the newest version, so your history keeps moving forward — and a restore can itself be undone by restoring the version that came before it.
Notes about your changes
When you edit a recipe, the editor footer has a What changed? (optional) box. A short note like “halved the sugar” makes a version easy to find in the history later. Notes are optional; every save is recorded either way.
Some versions are noted for you. When you rename a recipe or change a tag, any other recipe that mentions it is updated to match, and that automatic save is labeled so you can see why it changed.
Fixing an ingredient from a recipe’s Review ingredients list — rewriting its name to match your catalog, or giving it a weight — edits the recipe, so it’s saved as a version too, noted with what changed.
An edit you apply from Mirabel is recorded like any other save and marked via Mirabel, so you can tell her changes from your own. Step to it, compare it, and restore it just like any other version.
Restore or permanently delete a deleted recipe
A deleted recipe isn’t gone for good. At the bottom of the recipe list, Recently deleted lists recipes you’ve removed.
Click Restore to bring a recipe back. Click Delete forever to remove it from Recently deleted and from recipe-history recovery. Mirepoix asks you to confirm before deleting it forever; once confirmed, it can’t be undone.
