Backup Your Website Design, Revert Changes, or Reset to Last Published Design

Backup Your Website Design, Revert Changes, or Reset to Last Published Design

You can proactively back up your website design, so if you make changes that you do not want to keep, you can easily revert back to your previously-saved design.

You also have the ability to revert to the latest published version of your website, even if you don't already have a backup saved. This comes in handy if you make changes on the website, but then decide you don't want to keep any of those changes.

Keep in mind that this feature does not work for the content of your website, only the design of it. You cannot restore deleted text or Content Blocks. If you need to save text content for later use, we recommend copying and pasting the information into a separate document.

  1. Navigate to the Design tab at the top of your Websites dashboard.
