Nothing is destructive
In Dollop, every change, whether you made it or the AI did, is saved as a step in the project’s history. You can undo it, revert one edit on its own while keeping everything after it, or restore any earlier version. Your original files are never modified: the editor plays preview copies, and exports are rendered from the originals.
History you can read
Each step records who made it (you, a teammate or the AI), what changed and why. The history panel lists every step by name, with Revert this edit and Restore beside each one.
Revert one edit, keep the rest
Undo takes back the latest change. Revert picks out one earlier edit, such as an AI pass that tightened a section too far, and takes back only that, without losing what you did afterwards.
Lock what mustn’t move
Lock a clip or a track and no edit, from you or the AI, can change it; the AI can’t unlock it. Protected content, such as sponsor disclosures, is kept by the first cut and by chat edits unless you override the protection yourself.
Originals stay untouched
Uploaded files are kept exactly as they arrived. Editing plays smaller preview copies, and finished exports are rendered from the originals. Speech fixes and AI voice are added as new clips and labeled as AI voice.
Review before publishing
Review mode checks that a sponsor’s talking points are covered, flags claims the brief prohibits, and lists protected ranges and AI-generated segments, so nothing synthetic slips through unnoticed.
Questions
Yes. Revert that edit from the history, and your later changes stay.
No. Originals are kept exactly as uploaded. Edits, fixes and exports never write over them.
Roles decide that: editors edit timelines, reviewers can watch, comment and approve but not edit, and viewers can only watch. Pro includes 3 seats and Studio 10.
