On this page
Every change you make to a page is saved immediately, so there is no "discard" step. Instead, the editor records a version of the page after each change and lets you jump back to any of them. Deleted a section by accident, or rewrote a paragraph and preferred the old one? Open the page's history and restore the version from before.
Open page history
Open the page in the editor and click the Page history clock button in the top-right corner of the browser frame, next to Page options. The panel lists versions newest-first. Each row shows what changed, when, and how many sections the page had at that point. The top row is marked Current.
Versions are labelled after what you did, for example "Added #hero", "Moved #about up", "Edited #sct_k3x9a2" or "Reordered sections". The #name is the section's ID, the same one shown on the Sections tab of Page options; giving your important sections a custom ID in Section settings makes these labels easier to read.
Restore a version
- Hover the version you want. The row shows Restore.
- Click it. The page reloads with that version's sections and page heading, and a Version restored message confirms it.
Restoring is not destructive. The version you just left is saved as a new entry at the top of the list, so if the older one was not what you wanted either, restore your way back in one click.
What history covers
A version captures the page's sections (their content and settings) and the page heading's text and spacing. That is everything you see on the canvas.
It does not capture the rest of the page's options: the page name, URL, published status, SEO fields and password are settings, not content, and restoring a version leaves them as they are. Site-wide design choices (colours, fonts, header and footer) are not part of page history either.
Quick edits are grouped
Typing a paragraph fires many small saves. History merges rapid edits to the same section into one version, so your list stays readable and a single restore undoes the whole burst.
Limits you should know about
Warning: Page history is stored in your browser, not in your account. It is not available on another computer, in another browser or in a private window, and it is removed if you clear your browser's site data.
- The last 100 versions of each page are kept, for 30 days.
- If a page was changed outside this browser, for example from another device, the list shows a "Changed outside this browser" entry. History cannot show the individual edits that happened there, but it records the page as it was found so you can still go back to it.
- Deleting a page is permanent and is not covered by history. Set a page to Draft instead if you may want it back; see Add and organise pages.
Clear history
At the bottom of the panel, Clear history deletes all saved versions of the current page from this browser after a confirmation. New versions start recording again with your next edit.
Restoring and the live site
A restore is a page edit like any other: it is saved immediately and lights up Update live site. Click that button when you are ready for visitors to see the restored version; see Why your changes do not show on the live site yet.
