Step by step

1. 1

   See your version list — publishes, manual backups, and auto-daily, kept separate

   Open “Versions” under the editor's Settings menu and you'll see every version kept for Momo Coffee, one row per line. Three kinds show up: “Publish” (saved automatically every time you publish), “Manual” (created when you click “Back up now”), and “Auto daily” (one automatic snapshot per day). On top of those, an “Auto rolling” version — a single copy of your most recent save — exists on every plan, free included. Manual backups are a paid-plan feature, so a free-plan site won't see any in the list.

   Restore an old version

   Find the point in time you want in the list and click “Restore.” A confirmation dialog appears first; confirm again and that version becomes your current draft. Restoring only touches the draft — visitors keep seeing whatever is live until you click “Publish” to push the restored content out. If you had unsaved work in progress, that gets overwritten by the version you restored.

   A restore can be undone too — one step back

   Changed your mind right after restoring? No problem — the “Undo rollback” button in the Versions panel puts your draft back to exactly how it was right before the restore. This undo only goes one step: once you save or edit again after restoring, “Undo rollback” stops being available. So the safest move is to check the result right away and hit “Undo rollback” immediately if it's not what you wanted.

   The version currently live is never cleaned up automatically

   Old versions get cleaned up automatically once a plan's retention limit is exceeded, oldest first. The version currently serving your visitors is always excluded from that cleanup — cleanup can never delete the snapshot your site is actually running on, so a cleanup pass can't break your live site. Retention limits themselves vary by plan, and higher plans keep more versions for longer.

   Cleanup target Excluded — the live version is always protected

   Retention Varies by plan · higher plans keep more
