Versions and History
Drafts, publishing, and restoring an earlier version.
Every artifact keeps its whole history. Nothing you publish is overwritten, and nothing you replace is lost.
Draft and published
At any moment an artifact has:
- A draft — your work in progress. Yours alone. Editing changes this.
- Published versions — each one fixed at the moment you published it. This is what anyone else with access sees.
Publishing takes the draft as it stands and fixes it as a new published version. Editing afterwards starts a new draft and leaves the published version exactly as it was.
So a half-finished change cannot leak into someone's document. The published version does not move until you publish again.
History
The history lists every version, newest first, with when it was published. Open any of them to see what the template looked like at that point.
Restoring
Restoring an earlier version brings its content back as your current draft. It does not publish it, and it does not delete anything in between.
That matters more than it sounds. Restore is a safe, reversible act: it stages the old content for you to look at, and you decide whether to publish it. If you restore the wrong version, restore a different one — the history is intact either way.
The usual sequence when something has gone wrong:
- Open the history and find the last version that was right.
- Restore it. It becomes your draft.
- Check it — the test data panel is the quick way.
- Publish, if it is what you want.
What restoring does not do
- It does not remove the versions published after the one you restored. They stay in the history.
- It does not change anything for other people until you publish.
