How to Restore a Previous Version of Your Wix Website
If you've ever made changes to your Wix website and later regretted them, you might be wondering if there's a way to go back to a previous version. Fortunately, Wix has a built-in feature that allows you to restore your site to an earlier version using the Site History tool. This can be incredibly useful if something goes wrong or if you simply prefer an older version of your site. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the steps to revert to a previous version of your Wix website.
Step 1: Access Your Wix Website
Start by logging into your Wix account and opening the website you want to restore. Once you're inside the Wix dashboard, you can begin the process of retrieving an older version.
Step 2: Open Site History
There are a couple of ways to access Site History, but the easiest way is:
Click on the Search option in your site's dashboard.
Search for Site History.
Click on it to open a list of all previously saved versions of your site.
Step 3: Choose a Previous Version
Once you’ve accessed Site History, you will see a list of different versions of your site that have been saved over time. Wix automatically saves your site at different points, so you can scroll through and find the version you want to restore.
If multiple people collaborate on the site, you will also see details about who last saved or published each version, which can be helpful for tracking changes.
Step 4: Restore the Version
When you find the version you want to restore:
Click on it to preview how it looked at that point in time.
If you’re happy with it, click Restore.
A confirmation prompt will appear—click Restore again to finalize your decision.
Step 5: Publish the Restored Version
After restoring, the site will revert to that version, but it won’t be live yet. To make the changes visible to visitors, you’ll need to:
Click Edit Site to make any necessary adjustments.
Click Publish to update the live version of your website.
Refresh your site to confirm that the restored version is now live.
Final Thoughts
The Site History feature in Wix is an incredibly handy tool for website owners. Whether you accidentally changed colours, removed content, or made an edit you regret, you can always revert to a previous version. This feature ensures you have peace of mind while experimenting with different designs and layouts.
