Documentation

Won't switch or merge if you have unsaved changes. You'll get a prompt with a shortcut straight to Changes, so nothing you've done gets lost or mixed into the wrong line of work.

Never silently overwrites a conflict. If the same artwork changed in two places at once, Krita VCS keeps the incoming version and marks the file for you to review. It never guesses.

Can't delete your main line of work, or the one you're currently on. Switch to another branch first if you want to remove the one you're using.

Won't undo a save that something else depends on. If a later save or another branch still needs it, undo is blocked so nothing important gets lost.

Nothing happens if there's nothing to do. Saving with no changes, or restoring the version you're already on, simply does nothing.

Only one save happens at a time. If you're also using the Krita plugin, the two can never save at once. You'll see a brief "please wait" instead of any risk of a mixed-up save.

Removing a project defaults to the safe choice. "Remove from list" just forgets it here; your files and history stay untouched. Removing the folder for good asks you to type its name first, so it's never one accidental click away, and moves it to your Recycle Bin rather than deleting it outright.

Cleaning up always shows you first. You'll see exactly what would be freed before anything is actually deleted.

You can always keep a copy of your own, outside the app. Back up any project, or every project at once, to a zip file whenever you like: the one thing to reach for if a project folder is ever lost outside Krita VCS entirely, like a stray delete outside the app or a failing drive.
