We have added a new and very useful feature to jBPM Designer – Local History support.
Local History automatically stores your process model information to the browser using HTML5 Web Storage on a preset interval. This allows you to
- Be able to restore previous versions of your model even if you did not / forgot to save your model.
- Be able to restore your work in cases your computer/ browser crashes, or you go offline.
- View all changes in your process between model saves.
- Have more assurance that your work will not get lost.
So let’s see what this looks like (click on the images below to enlarge). Description of the features are contained within the images.

We would like to thank our community contributor Gábor Farkas for his idea for this new feature as well as the initial commit for it. Gábor is a Java EE developer at Doctusoft Ltd and has been involved with the jBPM community for a while now – Thanks Gábor!
