Switch to a given version of the document or save such a version

Source: R/switch_to.R

When there are several versions of a document (R script, R Markdown or Quarto document), switch the main file to one of the saved versions: original version, solution with the correction, or last saved version. The save_as_original() and save_as_solution() functions are used to create respectively the original and solution versions of the document. These files have same name as the initial file but ending with _original, _solution or _last_saved., and starting with a dot .. They are thus "hidden" files. For R scripts, the extension is also changed into .Rscript for the original and solution versions.

switch_to_solution(file = NULL, error = TRUE)

switch_to_last_saved(file = NULL, error = TRUE)

Arguments

file

The file to switch to a version. If not provided, the currently edited file in RStudio is used by default

error

Value
