  • Introduction of a document timeline component in JupyterLab for tracking changes in collaborative environments.
  • The timeline is a slider in the status bar, allowing navigation through document history without altering the original.
  • Compatible with all shared documents in Jupyter, including notebooks, text files, and JupyterCAD models.
  • Built on the Yjs framework and PyCRDT, enabling undo/redo operations and document history forking.
  • Forking creates a sandbox version for exploring past states without affecting the main document.
  • Undo manager allows stepping back and reapplying changes, preserving document integrity.
  • Restore functionality lets users revert to specific versions, merging changes back into the main document.
  • Seamless integration with JupyterCAD for tracking 3D model design iterations.
  • Enhances collaborative workflows in engineering and design by making every change reversible.
  • Acknowledgment of team contributions and the author's background in software engineering.
