Page history & rollback

Every publish is permanently recorded. You never need to know or care that the record happens to be a real git commit under the hood — what matters is that nothing you publish is ever truly gone.

Viewing a page’s history

Open a page’s History tab to see every past publish, most recent first: who published it, when, and what changed. Routine automatic safety checkpoints (a background process that quietly protects unpublished drafts) are hidden from this view by default, so what you see is a clean record of deliberate publishes, not noise.

Reviewing what changed

Select any past version to see it, or compare it against another version to see exactly what was different — which sections were added, removed, or edited, and how their content changed.

Restoring an old version

Found a version you want back? Restore it with one click. This doesn’t erase anything that happened in between — it creates a new entry in the history that happens to bring back the old content, so the full sequence of events (including the mistake and the fix) stays visible. There is no way to lose history by restoring an old version.

Tip

This is your safety net for genuine mistakes — publishing the wrong content, an edit that turned out worse than the original, or a page that needs to go back to how it was for a specific campaign. Reach for it with confidence; restoring is never destructive.

Bringing back a deleted page

Deleted a page by mistake? Straight after deleting, a notice at the top of the Pages panel says Deleted “Page name”. Undo: click Undo and the page comes straight back.

Later on, look for Recently deleted beside Add Page at the bottom of the Pages panel (it only appears once something has been deleted). It lists every page deleted in the last 90 days that hasn’t come back, with who deleted it and when. Click Restore to put a page back exactly as it was just before it was deleted; it then opens in the preview. Like every restore, this adds a new entry to the history rather than erasing anything.

Note

A page deleted more than 90 days ago drops off this list, but it isn’t gone: it’s still in the site’s history, and your developer can bring it back from there.

How this differs from drafts

Drafts (see Drafts, preview & publishing) are about work in progress that hasn’t gone live yet. History is about everything that has gone live, in order. Discarding a draft throws away unpublished work; restoring from history brings back something that was once genuinely public.
