The Local Versions control opens a browser-local workspace for saving the current parser state. Current Local Versions workspace

Save a checkpoint

  1. Enter or analyze some sample logs.
  2. Open Local Versions.
  3. Enter a meaningful Version name, such as Before normalization.
  4. Select Save Version.
  5. Make a deliberate change to mappings or sample groups, then save another named version.

Compare and restore

Under Compare Versions, choose Version A and Version B (or Current working copy) to review differences in source logs, parser settings, and field mappings. Use a saved version’s Restore action when you need to roll back your browser workspace.

Storage boundaries

  • Up to 30 saved versions, scoped to the current browser profile and website origin.
  • Versions are not stored on the Parser Studio server and do not sync between devices.
  • The saved data can include raw security logs and is not encrypted by Parser Studio.
  • Clearing site data, private browser cleanup, or changing profiles/origins may make versions unavailable.
Saving a local version is not a native parser test, repository commit, or deployment operation. Auto Parser · Compare versions scenario
