Then I want to open the file again and, in order to prevent Lion from modifying my file I have to immediately select "Duplicate" but, if I forget and make a change to the file before selecting "Duplicate" I have to negotiate a dialog which asks whether I want to save the file before duplicating it or discarding the changes before duplicating it.

BUT you can actually retrieve the changes in the revision history if you later decide you want to look at them, or copy some of them, or actually use that version. Drag-n-drop it, attach it to an email, it is unchanged. You get the same functionality with basically the same number of keystrokes overall, but you get a LOT more flexibility and a lot more safety net under you with the new system.įor example, if you make some changes, then decide you don't want them and you Revert To Saved, then Quit, the document will look just like it was before your changes.
