Each version of the components you export to Zeplin will be individually saved along with their commit messages, categorized by colors and timestamps.

You can see the version history of a component in its detail view. To open a component's detail view while on a screen, you can select the component in a screen and click the "See versions" button in the component box on the right panel. You can also click on the component tag revealed when you select a component in a screen.

When you’re on the detail view, you can see the Version History section on the left panel. To check out an earlier version, you can click on it or use the "Up/Down" arrow keys to navigate through versions, and you can compare changes between different versions by enabling the “Show differences” option.

☝️ On the Free plan, you can only see the versions exported in the last 30 days.

You can also access the Version History through a styleguide by double-clicking on a component from the Components section under a styleguide or selecting the component and clicking on the "Go to Component Detail" button on the right panel.
