Good to know​

  • With Restore, if you have unsaved edits, we save them as a version first, so nothing is lost. Discard unpublished changes takes the draft back to the published version.
  • A saved version is kept for 14 days, a published one for 90 days, and one you named with Rename is kept forever.
  • Start over at the end of Version history clears all the options with no confirmation. If you clicked it by mistake, click Undo in the message at the bottom of the screen.

Not showing?​

  • Is the undo button grayed out? There is no edit to undo on this page. The button is explained in Studio start and top bar settings.
  • Cannot see Discard unpublished changes? It shows only if you published the product before and edited it after that.
  • Cannot see every edit in Version history? While you keep editing, the saves stay in one card. See Version history settings.
