Write it in your own words in the app.

In the illustration

Each save stamps a new plate, 1 to 5; plate 5 shows a crack, so the carriage rolls back and restores plate 4 while 5 stays on record.

Use it in a prompt

Use version control in your coding agent to save my work: a branch for this fix, a commit message that says what changed, and the command to push it.
