Restore Previously Published Website Version

DecoNetwork retains a copy of your website each time you publish changes, allowing you to restore your site to any previously published version at any time. From the Previously Published page in your website’s administration settings, you can select an earlier version and apply it as a working copy, then publish it again to make it live.

This makes it easy to undo unwanted changes, recover from design experiments that didn’t work as expected, or quickly return to a known-good layout. To support safe experimentation, DecoNetwork also automatically creates backups when unpublished changes exist – for example, if you switch to a different theme. You can revert to an older theme at any time without losing your unpublished work, giving you the freedom to explore new designs with confidence.

Why restore a previously published website version?

Restoring a previously published version helps you undo unwanted changes, recover from theme edits that didn’t work as expected, or quickly revert to a known-good layout. Because DecoNetwork keeps a copy of each published site, you can safely experiment with designs knowing the last live version is always retrievable.

   A list of all the previously published versions of your website is displayed.

   

Step 2: Restore the desired version

1. Locate the version you want to restore.
2. Click Restore.

• Click Continue in the Restoring Website popup, displayed when the restoration is complete.

  

  The selected version will be applied as a working copy to your website and Website Pages Editor will be launched for you to make changes.

Step 3: Edit and publish

1. Make changes if required.
2. Click Save in the Website Editor.

3. Click OK in the Saving Page popup, displayed when saving is complete.

Best-practice tips

• Review restored pages carefully before publishing.
• Restore only the version you intend to make live – drafts are not affected.
• Publish stable milestones to maintain a reliable restore history.

Troubleshooting

• No restore option visible: Verify you are editing the correct website and have admin permissions.
• Layout still incorrect: Restore a different version or manually adjust before publishing.

FAQs

• Does restoring affect products or designs?
  No. Restoring a version only affects the website layout, pages, and template code.
• Can I undo a restore?
  Yes. Simply restore another previously published version.
