If you encounter an issue where you are unable to revert to a previous working version of a site on Webflow, there are a few potential solutions you can try:

  1. Check Revision History: Webflow has a built-in feature called Revision History that allows you to view and restore previous versions of your site. To access it, go to your site's settings, click on the "General" tab, and scroll down to the "Revision History" section. Here, you can see a list of all the saved versions of your site and choose to restore the one that was working properly.

  2. Contact Webflow Support: If you're unable to find a previous working version using the Revision History feature, it's best to reach out to Webflow Support for assistance. They have access to additional tools and can guide you on how to recover your site. You can contact them through the Webflow Help Center.

  3. Restore from Backup: If you have previously exported a backup of your site's code or have a backup from an external source, you can use that to restore your site to a previous working state. To do this, you'll need to import the backup file into Webflow. Keep in mind that this method will only restore the code structure and content, and any design changes made within Webflow will not be retained.

  4. Collaborate with Team Members: If you're working with a team on Webflow, you can involve your team members to help resolve the issue. They might have access to a previous working version of the site or be able to provide insights into potential solutions. Collaborating and sharing insights can increase the chances of finding a suitable solution.

Remember, it's essential to regularly backup your Webflow projects to avoid the risk of losing important changes or encountering issues with reverting to previous versions. Creating a backup habit can save you a lot of time and frustration in the long run.
