Why restore a previously published website
Restoring a previously published version gives you confidence to make updates without risk. Every publish action creates a backup, allowing you to quickly roll back visual or layout changes if something doesn’t look right.
- Undo unwanted layout or styling changes
- Recover from CSS or HTML mistakes
- See who published each version for accountability
- Safely experiment with design changes
How to restore a previously published version
- Go to Websites → Manage → Edit Website.
- Select Previously Published.
- Review the list of published versions.
- Each version shows the publish date.
- The user who published that version is also displayed.
- Click Restore next to the version you want to recover.

What is restored (and what is not)
Restoring a previously published version affects the look and structure of your website pages.
-
Restored:
- Page layouts and visual design
- Theme customizations
- Custom CSS
- Custom HTML
-
Not restored:
- Blank products
- Pre-decorated products
- Store catalogs or designs
- Product data or pricing
Best-practice tips
- Publish before making major design changes to create a rollback point.
- Use descriptive internal notes or team communication to track why a version was published.
- Check who published a version if unexpected changes appear.
- Test visual updates knowing you can safely restore a previous version.
Troubleshooting
I don’t see any previously published versions
The site must be published at least once before versions appear. Publish the site to start version tracking.
The restored site doesn’t include product changes
This is expected behavior. Website version restore does not affect products or catalogs.
My CSS or HTML changes disappeared
Restoring a version also restores the CSS and HTML that existed at the time of publishing.
FAQs
How often are versions saved?
A new version is saved every time you click Publish.
Can I restore multiple versions back?
Yes. You can restore any previously published version at any time.
Does restoring affect live orders or customers?
No. Restoring a version only changes the visual layout of the website.
