## Questions this post answers

### What new features were introduced in CodePen 2.0?

CodePen 2.0 introduces several new features: Versions for tracking pen history, an Omnibar for quick navigation, a new Compiler, a Deployment feature for publishing pens, and a Default Template for starting new pens faster. Each feature was highlighted by a different team member as their personal favorite in the launch announcement.

_Developers deciding whether to switch prototyping tools can track platform updates like this on daily.dev._

### Does CodePen now support versioning for pens?

Yes, CodePen 2.0 added a Versions feature that lets users track changes to their pens over time, something the team says had been requested for over ten years. This allows creators to view and potentially revert to earlier states of their code snippets within the platform.

_Anyone evaluating code playgrounds for team workflows can follow feature rollouts like this on daily.dev._
