Big +1 to this. I accidentally deleted a large body of text recently while chopping and chunking some writing in Bear, and in between app restarts, I couldn’t find a whole 3 paragraph block 
. Thankfully, it was in my clipboard history manager, but it would have been painful if it wasn’t.
This, like E2EE, is a pressing need for me, unlike a web version, and Panda. First get the basics right (like security/privacy, and protection against accidental data loss), then add new stuff. Bear is great, but really lacking here.

Note revision is one of the most important missing features in Bear for me!

Another +1. Revision history is important. As I recall, the way this worked in Evernote (where I came from years ago) is when you restore a note from a previous version it becomes the latest version (though the revision history remains intact, including a version with the most recent edits prior to the restore). The behavior (as I recall) was also the same with files in dropbox when I used that (I had “pack rat” with unlimited version history).

+1, any update regarding a timeline for this feature?

+1 same for me. I’ve lost data many times by switching to another note and can’t undo. I’m scheduling more Bear database backups in the meantime while waiting for this feature.
+1 to automatic per-note revisions being created periodically while editing it.

I just signed up for an account here to add that this feature is very much needed. Consider the case where information from a note is accidentally deleted and the user only realises later. There is no way currently to retrieve what was in the note previously.

Perhaps it can be coded along with a solution for this peskiest of bugs. It does seem, to my non-coder’s eyes, somewhat related.
Note revisions are very useful and based on my experiences with SimpleNote, it can certainly work in an app oriented around having a a simple UI (though, I understand it can be a lot of work to design well ofc).
I like the way how it is implemented in the App NotePlan.
Easy to use and yet powerful.
What do you guys think?
