Restore or save site versions

Use version history to recover from a refinement or manual edit that went sideways.

Overview

BaseStack creates version records when a site is generated, refined, manually saved, or restored. Version history lets you recover a better draft without starting from scratch.

When versions are created

Key points

  • Initial generation creates the first version.
  • AI refinement creates a new version with the refinement prompt attached.
  • Manual edit saves create snapshots.
  • Restoring a previous version creates a new restore version so the history remains intact.

Safe editing workflow

Steps

  • Make broad design and copy changes with AI refinement.
  • Review the preview before publishing.
  • Use manual editing only for final small text or image-position fixes.
  • If a change makes the site worse, restore the previous useful version.

Published pages are separate from drafts

Restoring or saving a draft does not always mean visitors immediately see it. Publish the updated version when you are ready for it to go live.
