Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I share a note with Family members. Sometimes (once a month) the case happend that one user1 edit the note but the change got not synced immediately to nextcloud and user2 accessed the note afterwards. than it could happens that we lost the notes from user1. luckily this notes are usually still available in the version history.
For that case It would be nice if we could access them.

Idea:

  • add a "Timeline" menu entry where we could move to an older version of the note.
  • show the user, date and time at which the change was made.
  • allow to restore an older note.

low Priority:

  • add a way to highlight differences to current If I choose to view an old version

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by tracing the existing note and sync flow, then check how version history is exposed by Nextcloud. Done means users can open a note timeline, see the version author and timestamp, and restore an older version; diff highlighting is explicitly lower priority.
