Version History

Browse, search, preview, and restore previous published versions of your pages, header, and footer.

Version History protects your content from accidental losses. Every time you publish, Blox automatically saves a historical snapshot of the page and — when they changed — of the global header and footer. You can trace changes, preview older builds, and roll back securely.

Accessing Version History

To browse the version timeline for your site:

Navigate to your Site Dashboard and select the Version History tab in the left sidebar.

By default, the timeline shows your Home page. Use the page selector in the top-right to switch to another page, or choose Header & Footer under Global to browse layout snapshots.

A few more controls sit alongside the page selector:

Status filter: narrow the page selector to All pages, Live pages, or Deleted pages. The Deleted pages group only appears once a page with saved version history has actually been deleted.
Search: matches against a version's number or its description.
Refresh: manually re-fetches the timeline.

Understanding the Version Timeline

The timeline is a table with Version, Published, Description, and Actions columns, newest first:

Version: an incremental tag — V1, V2, V3, and so on.
Latest badge: marks the version currently live at the top of the list.
Published: a relative timestamp under which the publisher's name appears as by {name}. It reads just now, {n}m ago, {n}h ago, Yesterday, {n} days ago (2–6 days), or a calendar date like Sep 24, 2026 once it's a week or older.
Description: click Add description… to type a note (e.g. "Pre-relaunch backup"). Press Enter to save or Escape to cancel.
Results are paginated, with a rows-per-page control and page indicator at the bottom.

Previewing and Restoring a Version

Every row has two actions:

Preview

Opens a read-only view in a new tab — nothing here affects the live site.

A page version previews with the site's latest published header and footer (or with no header/footer at all if the layout has never been published).
A Header & Footer version previews wrapped around the latest published Home page.

Restore

Opens a confirmation dialog before rolling anything back:

Restoring is non-destructive: your current draft is automatically saved as a new version first, so you can always undo a restore by restoring that backup.

Restoring a page only touches that page's editor draft.
Restoring Header & Footer updates the single shared layout draft that every page on the site reads from.

Restore only updates the editor draft — it does not change the live site. You still need to publish afterward to make the restored version public.

Restoring a Deleted Page

Switching the status filter to Deleted pages lets you find the version history of a page that no longer exists. Clicking Restore on one of these versions recreates the page from scratch with that version's content and reattaches its entire prior version history to it. If another page is already using that slug, rename or delete it first — the restore will refuse to create a duplicate.

The header and footer are a single global layout shared across every page. A new Header & Footer version is only created when you publish with Layout or Site scope selected in the editor's Publish dialog — publishing an individual page (the default scope) does not create one, even if the header or footer changed since the last layout publish.

See Saving & Publishing for the full breakdown of the Page / Layout / Site publish scopes.

Restoring a Header & Footer version updates that shared draft only — no page content is affected — and, as with page restores, you still need to publish (with Layout or Site scope) to deploy it to visitors.
