Pages and looks

Roll back to an earlier version

Markdown

Not happy with a change, even one you already published? Go back to any version.

Every version of a page is kept, so you can always go back to one you liked.

  1. Open the page's look

    Open the page (for example Home) and choose Look.

  2. Find the version

    Open Version history and tap the version you want. It opens as a preview, so you can make sure it is the right one.

  3. Restore it

    Press Restore this version. It becomes a draft, and Unpublished changes appears at the top.

  4. Publish

    Press Publish. Within about half a minute, everyone sees that version again.

Nothing is deleted along the way. The version you just replaced is still in the history, so you can restore it later.

Tip:

Versions you set aside with Don't want this are at the very bottom of the history. Press Restore to bring one back.

You can also ask an AI to roll back: "Put back the version of my home page from last Tuesday." Publishing still waits for your confirmation, unless your AI permissions allow the AI to publish.

#Undo a settings change

A page's Settings decide what it stores and how: who can see it, its language, its blocks and their fields, and a journal's kinds and questions. Settings take effect at once (there is no draft), so every change is kept instead, whoever made it: you in the app, Ownsite AI, ChatGPT or Claude.

  1. Open the change history

    Open the page's Settings, scroll to the bottom and open Change history (N). Each change says who made it, what changed and when, for example "Claude added a journal kind: Reading". The newest is marked Now.

  2. See what changed

    Tap a change. What was added is green, what was taken away is red, what stayed is grey.

  3. Undo it

    Press Undo to before this change. If later changes came after it, you are told first: they are undone with it.

Nothing stored is lost: a field, a block or a journal question that comes back brings back everything written in it. Undoing is a change of its own, so you can undo it too. Each page keeps its last 50 changes.

When Ownsite AI changes a page's settings, its reply has a card with See what changed and Undo; after undoing, the card offers Restore. Going back to something more open (for example back to a Public Page) needs your confirmation in the app, as any such change does.
