Yes, in Webflow, there is a useful feature called "Versions" that allows you to review changes before publishing them to the live site from the Designer. Here’s how it works:

  1. Accessing Versions: To access the Versions panel, open your project in the Designer and click on the "Versions" tab located on the left-hand side of the screen.

  2. Creating a Version: Whenever you make changes to your site, you can create a new version by clicking on the "Create New Version" button in the Versions panel. This will capture a snapshot of your site's current state.

  3. Naming Versions: After creating a new version, it's important to name it in order to easily identify it later. Click on the "Unnamed" text next to the version number to give it a meaningful name.

  4. Reviewing Changes: To review specific changes made in a version, click on it in the Versions panel. Webflow will open a modal that displays an overlay of your site with a side-by-side comparison of the previous version and the changes made in the selected version.

  5. Navigating Versions: You can navigate between versions by clicking on the arrows at the top of the Versions panel or using the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard. This allows you to review each version and compare the changes.

  6. Publishing a Version: Once you've reviewed the changes and are ready to publish, click on the "Publish" button in the Versions panel. This will make the selected version the new live version of your site.

  7. Restoring Versions: If you want to revert back to a previous version of your site, you can do so by selecting the desired version in the Versions panel and clicking on the "Restore" button. This will make that version the live version of your site.

By using the Versions feature in Webflow, you can easily review and manage changes made to your site before publishing them, providing you with peace of mind and the ability to make accurate adjustments.
