If you have already paid for hosting in Webflow and want to restore a template with CMS hosting without losing the hosting you've already paid for, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Webflow Designer and navigate to the Project settings by clicking on the gear icon in the left-hand sidebar.
  2. In the Project settings, select the Hosting tab.
  3. Scroll down to the "Site backup" section and click on the "Restore" button.
  4. A modal window will appear with options to restore a template or a backup of your site. Choose the option to restore a template.
  5. You will be presented with a list of available templates. Choose the template that you want to restore by clicking on it.
  6. Before the restoration process begins, Webflow will display a warning message stating that any changes made to your current site will be lost. Make sure to read this message carefully.
  7. Confirm the restoration process by clicking on the "Restore" button in the modal window.
  8. Webflow will begin restoring the selected template. This process may take a few minutes.
