Probe versions represent the results of individual runs of a probe.
Each time a probe is run, Uiprobe creates a new version. This version captures a snapshot of the visual comparison between the Figma design and the live webpage at that moment in time.
Previous versions are never overwritten.
A probe version contains:
All findings, markers, and annotation cards you see in the Probe Inspector belong to the currently selected probe version.
A new probe version is created whenever a probe is run again. This can happen, for example, when:
Each run creates a new version, even if no findings are detected.
Probe versions make it possible to iteratively reduce visual differences over time.
As findings are addressed in the implementation, running the probe again produces a new version with an updated set of findings. In many workflows, the goal is to eventually reach a probe version with no findings, indicating that the live webpage visually reflects the design at that point in time.
No findings means the probe ran and nothing was off. That's a result worth sharing — use the Share button to send a read-only link to anyone who needs to see it.
These versions are stored like any other and can be reviewed at any time.
Probe versions can be selected from the Versions panel in the Probe Inspector.
When you switch versions:
When an older version is selected, the view toolbar shows a status indicator that you are no longer viewing the latest results. From there, you can use the provided link to return to the most recent version at any time.
By reviewing multiple probe versions, you can see:
This historical view helps teams understand the impact of design or implementation changes without relying on memory or external tracking.
Probe versions do not:
Each version is an independent snapshot of a visual comparison.
