Craft automatically creates backups of your documents, allowing you to restore previous versions if needed. This feature ensures that you can recover your content in case of accidental changes or deletions.

​
How Version History Works

​
Automatic Backups Every Hour

  • A snapshot of your document is created every 60 minutes while you’re actively making changes
  • After you make an edit, the system starts a timer
  • If you continue making changes, a snapshot is automatically saved once one hour has passed
  • The process then repeats: as long as you keep editing, new snapshots are created every hour
Example:
  • You update a document at 10:00 AM → The timer starts
  • You continue making changes until 11:00 AM → A backup is saved
  • The timer resets and tracks your changes until 12:00 PM, when the next backup is saved

​
Backup Retention by Plan

The number of days your document versions are available depends on your Craft subscription plan: After the retention period for your plan, older backups are automatically deleted and no longer accessible.
