Versions and going back

Each time you publish, your website gets a new version: “Version 1”, “Version 2”, and so on. You find them in “Online”, under “Versions”.

Each version shows the day and time it was published. The one people see now is marked “Online now”.

WebsiteVersions kept
Free websiteThe latest one only
Website with a subscriptionThe latest 30

Older versions are removed at the next publication. They are marked “No longer kept”.

When a website with a subscription becomes free again, its older versions are kept for fourteen days: give it a subscription within them and they can be put back again; after that they are deleted.

A free website says “This website keeps the latest version only.” So a free website cannot go back to an earlier version.

Press “See it” next to a version. It opens in your browser, at a private address of its own. Search engines do not show these addresses.

  1. Open “Online” and find the version under “Versions”.
  2. Press “Put it online again”.
  3. Tsurito says, for example, “People will see version 3 again. What is on this computer does not change.”
  4. Press “Put it online again” once more to confirm.

The older version is online again at once. Your computer still has your latest work. The next time you publish, your latest work goes online again.

To keep working on an older version, press “Bring to this computer” next to it. Then choose:

  • “Bring it here”: the version replaces what is on this computer. What is here now stays in its history, and Undo brings it back.
  • “Bring as a separate copy”: the version comes as a website of its own, beside the one you have.

What is online does not change until you publish.

To undo a change on your computer, press “Undo this change” under the answer that made it, or go back in “History”, in the menu at the top right. Read Change your website by talking.
