Frequently asked.
How do I restore a previous version of my website?
Open the page in the editor, then the menu, Page and View Version History. Pick a version, press Restore this version, and publish the page. History is kept for each page, so a change that touched several pages is restored page by page.
How long is version history kept?
Thirty days. Versions are an hour apart for the last day, three a day for the last week and one a day after that, and older ones are deleted. For a change you may want to undo later than that, duplicate the page or the website first.
How do I recover a deleted page?
From Recently deleted, under the grid on the website's Pages screen. A deleted page waits there for 14 days, and Restore brings it back as it was. The home page cannot be deleted.
Can I restore a deleted website?
Yes, within 14 days. Deleting a website takes it offline at once; it then waits in Recently deleted on the Websites page, and Restore brings it back online with its pages and form entries.
Can I recover deleted form submissions?
Yes. Removing an entry moves it to Removed entries instead of erasing it. Check the ones you want back there and press Restore.
Is version history the same as a backup?
No. It lets you go back inside Siter.io, within 30 days for versions and 14 for deleted pages and websites. Keep your own copies of the words, images and files you could not recreate.
