Restore points

Your restore points are in Settings -> Restore points. You see this page if your role may manage the site, for example the Admin role.

A restore point holds:

• the design: brand colours, fonts, corners and background

• every page, and the header and footer menus

• blog posts with their categories, tags and listen recordings

• portfolio work

• the questions in your forms and feedback forms

• the titles and alt texts of the files in your media library

• almost every site setting, for example SEO, the cookie notice and trackers, notification recipients and the chat widget

Some things are not in a restore point, so a restore leaves them as they are:

• Answers to your forms and feedback forms. Read more in Forms.

• Bookings and payments, and the settings of those modules.

• Connection keys and passwords, maintenance mode, the email setup and the AI autopilot settings.

• Header and footer designs that you bought.

• The schedule of automatic restore points.

Husly saves a restore point before changes that are hard to undo by hand. In the list, each point has a name that says why it was saved:

A connected AI app gets one restore point before its first change. Its changes in the next 30 minutes share that point, and a change after that saves a new one. A point before an automatic save is made at most once in 10 minutes.

An empty site has nothing to save, so Husly makes no restore point for it.

Save a restore point before a big change, for example before you redo the homepage.

1. Open Settings -> Restore points.

2. Press Create restore point.

3. If you want, type a name under Name this restore point. The name shows in the list.

4. Press Create restore point again. The site itself does not change.

Husly can also save a restore point on a schedule. It is off at first.

1. Press the button next to Create restore point. It shows how often points are saved, at first Automatic off.

2. Under How often, pick a time, for example Every day. Or set your own under Or set it exactly, from 1 hour to 30 days.

3. Under How many restore points to keep, pick a number from 3 to 30.

4. Press Save.

A scheduled point is saved only when something on the site has changed, so an untouched site uses no room.

1. Open Settings -> Restore points. At the top is The site right now, and below it your restore points, newest first. All, Mine and Automatic filter the list.

2. Click a restore point. What this restore point holds shows its contents.

3. Pick Whole restore point or Choose parts.

4. Read What restoring would change. It counts the pages that are kept, recreated, untouched and deleted, and Worth knowing lists anything else to check.

5. Press Restore the site to this point or Restore the selected parts, and confirm.

• Whole restore point: everything in the point goes back to how it was. Content the point does not contain is deleted or switched off.

• Choose parts: only what you tick is restored, for example one page or the design. Nothing is deleted, and the rest of the site is left alone.

Husly keeps restore points by number, not by date. When a new automatic point is saved and there are already enough of its kind, the oldest one of that kind is deleted. Automatic points never push out the ones you saved yourself.

Points saved by you and points saved before a restore have the label Kept.

When you have 5 points of your own, delete one before you save a new one. Open the point and press the bin icon (Delete restore point). A deleted restore point is gone for good, but your site does not change.
