Add the ability to restore elements deleted by mistake.

Hi there @Juan_Daniel_Cardenas :wave:

I like your suggestion, thanks for sharing! We’ll try to consider this functionality in one of our future updates.

Also, I’d like to let you know if you deleted some elements by mistake and haven’t published changes, they won’t be saved in the widget.

However, if you published changes and want to restore the previous version, we can do this for you :wink:

Accidentally deleted something while working on a widget and realized there is no undo button. Would be a pretty helpful feature.

Hi there, @Kurt_Wissman :wave:

Sounds reasonable, thanks for the idea! If more users show their interest in this button, we’ll try to think about it in the future :slightly_smiling_face:

Guys, if you accidentally made some changes and would like to undo them, we can revert them to the last published widget version if needed. Just contact our Support Team :slightly_smiling_face:

How does that work? Contact support?

If I start editing my calendar, and I delete a bunch of things that are currently on the calendar, and then I decide - wait! I don’t want to delete these things, I want them back, and they are still published on my site, I want to be able to revert the editor to match the most recently published data. The data is stored, since it is published on my site, I should be able to revert the editor changes to match the published site.

I am in this situation because the editor glitched and set me back to a previous state when I was mid-editing and a lot of my calendar events have been deleted from the editor. The calendar events are still published on the website so that’s still good, but if I want to publish more events I will have to redo a lot of the work to create events again in the editor despite them existing on the website.

Hi there, @gizmologist :wave:

Thank you so much for the feedback!

We already have this idea on the Wishlist, and I’ve merged your comment with the existing request :slightly_smiling_face:

While this option isn’t available in the configurator, we can do this on our end. Do I understand right that you’d like to revert changes in your Events at Gizmo-CdA widget?

Hi there, @Jak_Hanchett :waving_hand:

Unfortunately, this option isn’t supported in the dashboard now, but we have this idea on the Wishlist. I’ve moved your comment to the related thread, where we’ll keep you in the loop :slightly_smiling_face:

As for now, we can revert the changes on our end. Could you please specify when you’ve made the wrong edit and what’s been changed? I’ll be happy to help you with it!

We would like the ability to revert to a previously published version of a widget, or to restore a recently deleted timeline event. Having a version history or an undo/restore option would be very helpful to avoid losing work.

Hello there and welcome to the Community, @user29172 :waving_hand:

Thanks so much for taking the time to share this idea with us!

We definitely understand how useful a version history or undo option would be, especially when making changes to your widgets. We already have a similar idea on our Wishlist, so I’ve merged your request with it. If there are any updates, we’ll share them right here.

In the meantime, we may be able to help restore the previous version of your Timeline widget from our side. Could you please share:

  • the name of the affected Timeline widget;
  • the approximate time and date when the changes were made (including your time zone)?
