Company/Startup Blogs All from CodePen View 431: Versions are Deeply Integrated into CodePen on blog.codepen.io

Rachel and Chris on the podcast this week discussion the (ahem, rather large news) that every CodePen 2.0 Pen is versioned. That’s right, you can jump back in time to previous versions at any time in case mistakes were made. You can take a look at the preview and code of past versions in case you just need to reference something. It all works extremely fast and efficiently. We get into the why and how it all works.
