When restoring a version, you can keep **Save current draft before restoring** enabled to create a backup of your current work before the selected version replaces it.
From a saved version's <Icon name="EllipsesVertical" aria-hidden="true" /> menu, you can also **Export** or **Delete** that version.
Saved flow versions are stored in the database configured for your Langflow deployment.
When restoring a saved version, if **Save current draft before restoring** is enabled, then Langflow creates a backup of your current work before the selected version replaces it.
[Flow auto-save](/environment-variables#visual-editor-and-playground-behavior) and flow versions serve different purposes.
Auto-save keeps your current flow draft up to date in the background, but it doesn't create version entries.
A saved _version_ is an explicit snapshot that you create when you want a restore point.
When previewing a saved version, Langflow temporarily pauses auto-save so the preview doesn't overwrite your current draft.
### Lock a flow
