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 Unpublished edits to the current draft are not saved as restorable versions.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

In the editor, open the Version Control panel. You’ll see your current published version at the top and any earlier versions in the archive below.
4

Select the version you want to restore

Click the version you’d like to restore. Your form instantly reverts to that state — pages, questions, styling and all.
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.
In short: switching versions changes what you see in the results, not what’s stored in the database.
