That's good info, but IMHO the whole business of removing "Save As..." and forcing the user to make a duplicate and rename it (or use Time Machine) in order to secure a particular revision of a document so as to allow rollback, is clunky.
So do we all. In fact, when it was introduced in Mountain Lion the uproar was so huge that Apple retreated, sort of. They put it back in Mavericks. Only they didn't want to really put it back so they hid it -- you now have to hold down the option key when pulling down the File menu, and like magic the Save item (which in the current OS seems superfluous to me) turns into Save As.
The problem with Apple's approach of looking back through auto-archived copies is that if your change was made on page 42, it isn't going to show up in the pretty carousel you can view easily. You'll have no idea which of those copies has the buried changes you want to revert to because all you can see is page one. So to find the right copy you have to page through 42 pages of each one. Which would be tedious but still kind of work if you happen to remember where in the document the differences are.
