Version History lets you save snapshots of your page, preview them, and restore your page to an earlier version. Save a version before big changes so you can always go back.
Opening Version History
- Open your page in the builder.
- Click the Leadpages logo in the top-left corner.
- Select Version History.
The Version History panel opens on the right side of the builder.
Saving a version
Leadpages saves versions two ways.
Automatic versions (Checkpoints)
While you edit, the builder saves versions automatically, including one after every 40 edits. These show up in your Version History as Checkpoint.
Manual versions
Save your own version anytime, like before a big change:
- In the Version History panel, click + Save.
- Give the version a name, like “Before redesign” or “Sent to client.” This is optional. If you leave it blank, the version will be named the date and time you saved it at.
- Click Save.
Manual versions show the name you gave them, so they’re easy to find among the Checkpoints. If you leave the field blank, the version will be named after the date and time you saved it.
If you haven’t saved any versions yet, the panel will say No versions yet.
Versions aren’t saved automatically. Get in the habit of saving a version before you make big changes, try a new design, or let Piper make edits.
How many versions can I save?
Each page can have up to 30 saved versions. The counter next to Version History shows how many you’ve used (for example, 1 / 30). Once you hit the limit, delete an old version to save a new one.
Previewing a version
- In the Version History panel, click the version you want to see.
- The version opens in a preview window. Use the icons at the top to switch between desktop, tablet, and mobile views.
- Click the X to close the preview and go back to your page. Nothing changes until you restore.
Restoring a version
- Open the version’s preview.
- Click Restore this version.
- Choose what to do with the page you have now:
- Save current state & restore (recommended): Saves your current page as a new version first, then restores. You can switch back anytime.
- Restore anyway: Restores without saving your current page. Any changes you haven’t saved as a version will be lost.
- Cancel: Goes back without changing anything.
Restoring doesn’t update your live page. If your page is published, click Update in the top-right corner of the builder to push the restored version live.
Deleting a version
In the Version History panel, click the trash icon next to the version you want to delete.
Good to know
- What’s saved: Version History saves your page’s content and design. Page settings like your URL slug, SEO details, and password protection aren’t part of a version, so restoring won’t change them.
- Deleting a page permanently deletes all of its saved versions too.
- Version History vs. Undo: Undo (the arrows in the top bar) reverses recent changes while you’re editing. Version History lets you go back to any version you saved, even weeks later.
Frequently asked questions
I restored the wrong version. Can I get my old page back?
Only if you chose Save current state & restore. In that case, your previous page is in the list as a version, and you can restore it. If you chose Restore anyway, any changes you hadn’t saved as a version can’t be recovered.
Why don’t I see any versions?
Versions only appear after you save one. Click + Save to create your first version.
Does restoring change my live page?
Not until you click Update.
Can I restore a version from a different page?
No. Each page has its own Version History.
