To avoid potential confusion I probably would have opted for a different label - 'versioning' perhaps.

And my 'synonymous' probably should have been 'equivalent'

Checkpoints is what they are, so checkpoints is what they're called. The notion of checkpoints in software existed long before Sigil or Calibre, so I fail to see any need whatsoever to reinvent the wheel by calling it something else. You're waaaay overthinking this.

I don't think anyone will be at all confused over it. And for the few who might be, there's two communities to help set them straight.
