Use Version history to review what changed and return an app to an earlier working state. The workspace sidebar’s History entry shows workspace changes. Inside an app, it is also available under More in the compact sidebar. To restore one app, open that app’s Version history beside the chat selector.

Restore a version

1

Open history

Open your app and select Version history beside the chat selector. You can also open a change from its message in the chat.
2

Find the version

Select an earlier entry in the timeline. Use Preview to check the app at that point. Check the date and description before restoring.
3

Restore and test

Select Restore, then confirm Yes, restore. Zite creates a new version using the earlier state and preserves your chat history.Test the main tasks in the restored app. Publish when you’re ready to update the version people use.
Illustration of restoring an earlier working version: later history remains, and a restored version is added at the top.

​
What does a restore affect?

  • App changes: Restores the selected app’s saved design and behavior. Related shared changes can affect other apps in the workspace, so test those too.
  • Chat history: Your conversations stay available.
  • Live app: Review and publish the restored version when it is ready.
  • Business records: This is not a database backup. Don’t use app history to recover deleted or edited records.
Restoring adds a new history entry. It does not erase the versions that came after the one you selected.

​
If Restore isn’t available

Choose an app rather than the workspace-wide history view, then select an earlier saved version. Finish any work already running and follow the message shown if Zite blocks the restore. If the restored app has a problem, describe what happened in the chat or follow the Troubleshooting guide.
