Abstract
Method and apparatus for managing versions of a portion of a document on a computing system are described. Multiple versions of an object in the document are maintained on the computing system. A graphical representation of at least two versions of the object is displayed on a display to a user of the computing system. A previous version of the object is selected from the at least two versions of the object through an input device, and the object in the document is restored to the selected previous version. The object is a portion of the document less than the entirety of the document.
