Webpress

The Editor

Undo, redo & version history

Never lose work — undo and redo any change, rely on autosave, and roll back to a saved version of your project.

Last updated 2026-06-29

Webpress is built so you can experiment freely. Every change is reversible, your work saves automatically, and you can roll all the way back to an earlier version of the whole page.

Undo and redo

Made a change you don't like? Undo it.

  • Undo — Ctrl/Cmd + Z
  • Redo — Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Z (or Ctrl + Y on Windows)

Undo works step by step through the changes you've made in your current editing session — moving an element, editing text, restyling, deleting. There are also undo and redo buttons in the editor toolbar.

A whole AI edit counts as one step: if the assistant changes several sections in one go, a single undo reverses the entire turn.

Autosave

You don't need to hit a save button. As you work, Webpress automatically saves your project in the background, so closing the tab or losing your connection won't cost you your work. When you reopen the project, it's exactly as you left it.

If you ever want to force an immediate save, press Ctrl/Cmd + S. You'll see a brief "Saving project…" confirmation.

Version history

Undo is great for the last few changes, but sometimes you want to jump back to how the page looked yesterday — before a big redesign. That's what version history is for.

Open Project Settings (the ⚙ gear at the bottom of the left panel) and go to the History section. There you'll find:

  • a Save version button with an optional label — snapshot the current state and give it a name like "Before homepage redesign,"
  • a timeline of every snapshot, newest first, each with a thumbnail, its label (or Manual save / Autosave), and how long ago it was taken. Autosaves are marked Auto and happen periodically on their own.

Restore a version

Click Restore next to any snapshot and confirm. The page reloads to that earlier state.

Restoring is safe and reversible: your current state is snapshotted first, so if you restore the wrong version you can simply restore back to where you were.
