Made a change you regret? Weavely keeps a history of every published version of your form, so you can roll back to any earlier version in a couple of clicks. Without losing the responses you’ve already collected!
Version control only tracks published versions. Unpublished edits to the current draft are not saved as restorable versions. If you want a version to be available in your history later, publish it.
How version control works
Every time you publish your form, Weavely saves that exact state as a version you can return to. Older versions move into your archive as you publish new ones. You can switch between any of them at any time, and switch back again if you change your mind. A typical workflow looks like this:1
Publish your form to create a baseline
Open your form and click Publish. This first published version becomes the baseline you can always return to.
2
Make your edits and publish again
Add pages, change questions, update styling, whatever you need. When you’re ready, publish again. Weavely automatically archives the previous published version.
3
Open Version Control
4
Select the version you want to restore
5
Switch back if needed
Changed your mind? Just open Version Control again and click a different version. You can move freely between any published versions.
What happens to your form responses
This is the part most people worry about, and the good news is: your response data is preserved across versions. Here’s how it behaves:- If you restore an older version that doesn’t include a field that exists in your current version, the answers for that field temporarily disappear from your results view.
- If you then switch back to the version that does include that field, the answers reappear automatically. They were never deleted, just hidden.
- The same logic applies to entire pages or new questions added in later versions.
