What alternatives are available in Webflow if I make changes and publish to the webflow.io subdomain, but then decide to revert back to an earlier version of my site?
If you decide to revert back to an earlier version of your site in Webflow, there are several alternatives available to you. Here are three options you can consider:
Use the built-in version control system: Webflow has a built-in version control system called "Site History." This feature allows you to access and restore previous versions of your site. To revert back to an earlier version, you simply need to select the specific version you want to restore from the Site History panel. This option is available for all Webflow plans and is a convenient way to manage and revert changes.
Clone your project: Another alternative is to clone your project and create a duplicate copy. You can do this by going to your project settings, selecting the "Clone Project" option, and giving it a new name. Once the cloning process is complete, you'll have a separate version of your site to work with. You can then make changes to the cloned project without affecting the original version. This allows you to experiment freely and easily switch back and forth between different versions.
Export and import site backups: Webflow also provides the option to export and import site backups. This can be particularly useful if you want to make major changes to your site and want to create a backup before doing so. By exporting your site, you'll have a complete copy of your project that you can save locally. If you decide to revert back to an earlier version, you can simply import the backup file. Keep in mind that importing a backup will overwrite the current state of your site, so it's important to save a backup of your current version as well.
These alternatives give you flexibility and control when it comes to reverting back to an earlier version of your site in Webflow. Whether you choose to utilize the built-in version control system, clone your project, or export and import site backups, you can ensure that your site is always in the state you desire.
