You probably know that any change in your template is autosaved. If you need to find an earlier version of your current email template, you can use the "Version History" option and restore it.
You can see all the changes you’ve made using the "Version History" button located on the top panel.
Just click it to open a drop-down list with all changes:
And you will be able to restore any suitable version:
You can also enable the Show Changes toggle, the editor will highlight what changed in the selected version, as on the screenshot above.
How to name and tag a version?
Autosave keeps every change, so after a day of edits, the history is a long list of timestamps. Give the important saves a name, and tag them to group the related ones.
A name describes one particular version and is unique to it, like "Client-approved layout". A tag groups versions that belong together, and the same tag can sit on many of them, like "black-friday" or "mobile".
To add a name:
Open Version History;
Click the three-dot menu next to the required version;
Select Add name;
Enter the name in the field and click the checkmark (✓) to save;
The name appears in the version title in the panel. The three dots menu now shows Edit name, to change the current name, and Remove name, to delete it and go back to Add name.
To add tags:
Open Version History;
Click the three dots menu next to the required version;
Select Add a tag;
Enter a tag in the fied and click the checkmark (✓) to save;
The tags appear on the version card as chips. After saving, the menu shows Edit tags and Remove tags;
Names and tags are stored together with the template. They stay in place after you reload the page or reopen the panel. Once they're there, you can search the history by name, tag, or date instead of scrolling through it.
Restore a version as a new email template:
You can also restore any version as a separate new email message/template.
To do this:
Open Version History;
Click the three dots menu next to the required version;
Select Restore as new.
The selected version will be saved as a new template/email, while the current version will remain unchanged.
How to use Version History without the "Autosave" feature?
👍 Good to know:
If you don't want every edit to be saved automatically to Version History, simply turn off the Autosave Feature in Group Settings.
This way, edits are saved only when you click the Save button in a template/email.
Please follow the navigation:
Switch to the "Settings" tab → "Workspace" → "Workspace Configuration" → "Collaboration";
And toggle off the "Autosave feature" control as mentioned in this example.
More about "Group" you can learn here.
