Manage your site's edit history with version control

Save your edit history in the design editor as "versions" that you can review and restore anytime. Both auto-save and manual save are supported, with retention periods varying by plan.

Important: Impact of FONTPLUS discontinuation (after April 8, 2026)

The "FONTPLUS" fonts offered through Studio.Design will be discontinued as of April 7, 2026, due to the end of our contract with Monotype, the font provider.

As a result, if you restore a version from the version history in a project that uses FONTPLUS fonts after April 8, 2026, those fonts will be replaced with substitute system fonts.

Please keep this in mind when restoring a site after fonts have been replaced.

For more details, please see the dedicated help page below.

The version control feature saves snapshots of your edits in the design editor at specific points in time, allowing you to review and restore them from a list.

  • Each saved version records the date and time of the save, along with the editor who saved it.

  • Versions are auto-saved at regular intervals, and you can also save manually at any time. You can give each saved version a custom name for easy management.

  • Versions are managed on a per-site basis only — saving or restoring on a per-page basis is not supported.

Data retention period by plan

Note: If you perform a project reset, data from before the reset cannot be viewed or restored.

Version control is available on all plans, but the retention period for your change history varies by plan.

Versions that exceed the retention period will gradually disappear from the list.

If you upgrade your plan, the new plan's retention period will apply, and you'll be able to see versions from periods that weren't visible under your previous plan.

Viewing your version history

You can view a list of saved versions, along with information about who saved each version and when.

This history displays entries from all collaborators, including yourself.

Versions are automatically saved when a certain number of actions are performed, when a site is published or updated, and when a site is restored.

You can also save manually at any time to make sure important states are preserved.

Automatic version saving

Versions are automatically saved at the following times:

  • After every 50 actions in the design editor

  • When the site is published or updated

  • When the site is restored

Auto-saved versions appear collapsed in the list. However, if you edit the version name, it will be displayed without being collapsed.

Saving a version manually

Follow these steps to manually save a version at any time:

  1. Click the history icon at the bottom of the left navigation.

  2. The version history will open in the right panel.

    If the panel is closed, open the right panel.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • Click the [+] button at the top left of the tab.

    • Click "Save this version" from the three-dot menu on [Latest version].

    • Use the keyboard shortcut (Mac: ⌘ + Option + S, Windows: Shift + Alt + S).

  4. Enter a version name in the text field and click the [Save] button.

How to edit a version name

You can edit a version name at any time, regardless of whether it was auto-saved or manually saved.

Adding a note about your edits makes it easier to identify which state each version represents when browsing the list later.

  2. The version history will open in the right panel.

    If the panel is closed, open the right panel.

    If the panel is closed, open the right panel.

  3. Select the version you want to restore.

    • Select [Restore to this version] from the three-dot menu.

    • Click the [Restore] button on the screen.
