Each time a page is published, that publish is kept as a version, and so is each editing session before it. Open the history to see what changed and who changed it, and bring back an earlier version when you need it. Who can do this: anyone who can edit the page or item can see its versions and restore one. Publishing the restored version needs an Editor, an Admin or an Owner.

Before you start

  • Sign in and open the page on your site, then choose Edit in the edit bar at the top.
  • For a blog post, a team member or another item, open its editor instead.

Open the history

In the edit bar, choose More Options (⋯)

In an item’s editor, it’s the ⋯ next to the main button.

Choose Document Versions

The edit bar's More Options menu open, with Edit, Duplicate..., Share Draft, Document Versions, Fill in business details, Discard Draft, Archive and Unpublish; Document Versions ringed.The edit bar's More Options menu open, with Edit, Duplicate..., Share Draft, Document Versions, Fill in business details, Discard Draft, Archive and Unpublish; Document Versions ringed.

Document Versions lives in the More Options menu.

The Document Versions window opens. The list of versions sits on the left, newest first. Each entry is either a publish or an editing session, with who made it and when.
  • An editing session groups one person’s saves. It ends when someone publishes, someone else edits, FetchskiAI makes a change, a version is restored, or a day passes.
  • Changes FetchskiAI made or helped with are marked AI edited or AI assisted.
  • A scheduled publish shows Scheduler as its author.

See what changed

Choose a version to see what it changed compared with the version before it. Changed fields are marked Added, Modified, Deleted or Moved.
  • In text, added and removed words are marked right in the text.
  • A changed section is outlined as a whole.
  • Use Previous and Next to step through the changes, and Show in the document to jump to one.
  • On a long page, Filter changes narrows the list.
One version selected: the page shows its Rich Text section outlined as modified, with the deleted and inserted words marked inline, and the change list on the right shows the same change.One version selected: the page shows its Rich Text section outlined as modified, with the deleted and inserted words marked inline, and the change list on the right shows the same change.

Restore an earlier version

Choose Restore Version

Confirm

A notice says: “The content is restored as a document Draft.”The old version replaces everything in your current draft. Your earlier saves aren’t lost: they stay in the list as an editing session, so you can restore them the same way.

Look over the page

When it’s right, choose Update to put it live. Contributors choose Submit Update instead, to send it to an Editor for review.
The confirm box "Do you want to restore this version of this Default Page?" over the Document Versions window, the confirm button ringed.The confirm box "Do you want to restore this version of this Default Page?" over the Document Versions window, the confirm button ringed.

Restoring puts the old version into your draft.

Restoring never publishes on its own. It puts the old version into the draft, and the history records it as Restored. Visitors keep seeing the live page until someone publishes.

What happens next

Publish the restored draft like any other change. The usual checks still apply, such as one main heading per page. See Drafts, publishing and scheduling. Just published by mistake? You don’t need the history for that. Choose Undo Publish on the “Your changes have been published.” notice.

Good to know

  • What keeps versions. Pages, blog posts, team members, testimonials, FAQs, images, files, videos and forms. FetchskiAI Skills keep versions too.
  • What doesn’t. Google reviews and Instagram posts copy themselves from Google and Instagram, so they have no history. Settings screens, such as Connections, and redirects keep none either.
  • How long. Versions are kept for as long as the page or item exists. Deleting it for good deletes its history too.
  • Old pictures come back too. An image only an old version uses stays safe, hidden from visitors, until you restore that version.

Troubleshooting

The page or item has no versions yet. Save a change, and the history starts with that editing session. Each publish adds another version.
The restore didn’t go through. Close the window, reload the page and try again. If it keeps happening, contact Fetchski Support.
That version can’t be shown or restored. Choose a newer version instead.
