Version history

Every time Ted saves a change to your website, Build keeps it as a version. There’s no save button, and nothing is thrown away. History lists every version, newest first, so you can look at any of them and put your website back the way it was.

​

What you’ll see in History

Versions are grouped by day. Each one has a title that says what changed:

• Ted’s own summary of a change he built, like “Changed the opening hours”.
• “Visual edit”, for words you changed yourself with Edit text.
• “Reverted to” and a version’s title, for a revert.
• “Duplicated from” and a website’s name, for a copy.
• “Undid a text change the website couldn’t build”, when Build put your old words back.
• The first line of a commit, for a change that came from GitHub.

To see older versions, press Load more versions at the bottom of the list.

​

Revert to an earlier version

Reverting doesn’t delete anything. Build saves a copy of the version you picked as your newest version, and every other version stays in History. The question tells you when the version is from: “This will revert your website to how it looked on…”. Changes you made after that point stay in the chat, so you can ask Ted to make them again anytime. Press Revert to go ahead, or press Esc to cancel. You’ll see “Reverting…” while it works. The copy becomes Latest, with Undo on its row. Changed your mind? Press Undo to go back to where you were. Your live website stays as it was until you publish an update.

​

Go back from the chat

You can also go back right from the chat. Under Ted’s reply that saved your newest change, press Undo latest edit to take that change back. Under an earlier reply, press Revert to this version to put your website back the way that reply left it. You’ll see “Reverted to message”: “Your website has been successfully reverted to this message.” The replies you went back past fold into “Reverted messages”. Press Show to see them again. To try a different request from an earlier point, press Edit message on your own message, change the words and press Revert and resend. Your website goes back to that point, and the chat continues from your new message.

​

Bookmarks

Bookmark the versions you want to find again, like the one you’re happy with. Press the bookmark on a version’s row in History, or Bookmark in history on Ted’s build card in the chat. Your bookmarks are in History’s Bookmarks tab. Until you add one, it says “No bookmarks yet”.

Who can do it

Everyone in your foundable can look at History. The owner, admins and members can revert, undo and bookmark. A teammate with view-only access can only look.
