Version History

Open version history

Opening Version History shows the current saved timeline without creating a new saved draft just from opening the panel.

Create a snapshot

Use Create Snapshot to save a named checkpoint before major changes, a handoff, or a risky restore.

Checkpoint handoffs also save a recovery copy automatically before editing moves to the next person.

Discarding page draft changes also creates an automatic recovery snapshot first. If Hiveality cannot save that snapshot, it keeps the draft unchanged instead of discarding the work. For a page that has never been published, discarding still returns the editor to an empty page, while the recovery copy remains available in Version History.

When an approved AI-assisted build replaces the body of an existing page, Hiveality automatically creates a Before AI rebuild snapshot. The replacement stops without changing the page if the snapshot cannot be saved.

If you want a fresh restore point before comparing older versions, create a snapshot first.

What you will see in the timeline

• Live Version: the current published page visitors can see.
• Saved Draft: an unpublished page save captured in version history.
• Snapshot: a named checkpoint you created manually or saved before a checkpoint handoff, draft discard, or other recovery step.

Restore a version

• Restore Content: restores layout and content only.
• Restore All: restores content and page settings (title, meta, and SEO).
• Restores update the current draft first. Review the result and publish when you are ready.
• Use Restore Content when you want the older layout back but need to keep today's page settings.

Undo vs version history

• Undo / Redo: quickly step through recent edits in your current session.
• Version History: restore a prior snapshot or full version when you need to roll back.
