Post revisions and version history

Every time you publish a post — or manually save a revision — VeloCMS creates a snapshot of the content at that moment. You can browse all snapshots and restore any of them with one click.

When revisions are created

Revisions are created automatically when: you click Publish, you click Update (on a published post), or you click the Checkpoint button (the history icon in the toolbar). Autosave drafts are not revisions — they exist only in your current browser session. A revision is a permanent server-side snapshot.

Viewing revision history

Open any post in the editor. In the top-right toolbar, click the history icon (clock). A panel slides in from the right showing all revisions in reverse chronological order, each with the timestamp and the team member who saved it. Click any revision to preview it — the main editor area switches to a read-only preview of that snapshot.

Restoring a revision

While previewing a revision, click 'Restore this version'. VeloCMS loads that snapshot into the live editor. The post is not automatically published — you're now editing the restored version as a draft. Review the content and click Publish when you're ready to make it live. Your current version is saved as a revision before the restore, so you can always get back to it.

How long revisions are kept

Revisions are kept for 90 days on all paid plans. After 90 days, revisions older than that are purged automatically. Your current published version is never purged — only historical snapshots age out. If you need longer revision history, contact support.
