Versions and rollback
Every upload is kept as its own version, so publishing is instant and going back to a previous version takes one click. Unpublish to take the site offline without deleting anything.
Purpose
How published versions work, how to go back when an upload turns out wrong, and how to take the site offline.
How versions work
Each upload becomes its own complete copy of your site. Publishing does not overwrite the previous one — it points your web address at the version you chose.
That has two useful consequences:
- Publishing is instant and all-or-nothing. Visitors never see a half-updated site, because the new version is fully in place before anything points at it.
- Rolling back is the same action in reverse. The previous version is still sitting there, complete.
Walkthrough
- 1
Find the version. The Version history table lists every upload, newest first, with your version note, its size, how many files it contains, and when it was uploaded.
- 2
Check it first. Click Preview on any version to see it before making it live.
- 3
Roll back. Click Roll back on an older version. It becomes live immediately, and the version that was live becomes a previous version — so you can roll forward again just as easily.
- 4
Unpublish. Click Unpublish on the live-site card to take the site offline. Nothing is deleted; publish any version again whenever you want.
- 5
Delete. Delete removes a version's files permanently. You cannot delete the version that is currently live — unpublish it or publish a different one first.
Tips
We keep the most recent versions so rollback always has somewhere to go — 3 on Light, 5 on Standard, 10 on Full. When you publish, anything past that limit has its files removed and stays in the list as a record.
"Untitled version" three times over is no help at 11pm the night before your deadline. A note like "Added keynote bios" makes the right rollback obvious.
