The time machine: earlier versions of a page

Go back to how a page looked yesterday or last week, or throw away changes you have not published yet.

The builder keeps earlier versions of every page, so you can go back without clicking Undo a hundred times. The header and the footer have their own history.

Open it

In the builder, click the clock with an arrow next to Undo. The time machine opens over the builder: the page as it was, with a slider along the bottom.

  • Drag the slider (or use the arrow keys) to go back in time. Dots are versions; the coloured ones are the versions you published. The day is written under the first version of each day.
  • Live now shows what visitors see; Now: your draft is the page as it is in the builder.
  • The phone and computer buttons at the top show the version on either screen. Scroll to see the whole page.
  • Old versions are shown with today's colours and fonts: the theme is not part of a page's history.

Restore a version

Choose a version and click Restore this version. It becomes your draft; nothing is published until you click Publish. Changed your mind? Click Undo, or open the time machine again: the page as it was just before the restore is there as a version too.

Discard unpublished changes

When your draft differs from what is live, Discard unpublished changes puts the draft back to the live version, in one click. This, too, can be undone.

Which versions are kept

A version is saved while you edit (at most every 10 minutes, and only when something changed), each time you publish, before the AI assistant changes the page, and before a restore. Everything of the last week is kept; older versions are thinned out to one per day for 90 days. The last 50 published versions are always kept.
