# Using the local history

In this section, you will use the local history feature to switch to a previously saved version of a Tcl file.

1. Create a new empty file in a project.
2. Insert a peace of code to that file using the Tcl editor and commit several changes.

3. Then right click in the editor and select Replace with > Local history menu item. Compare dialog will be opened.

4. Select a version (by date and time) of the file you'd like to replace the current content and click Replace

The file has just been restored to the state you selected.
