Restore a back-up of the page

Every time you save a page in the editor, Maglr stores a backup of it. You can restore an earlier backup of the page from the editor at any time.

Restoring a backup

To restore an earlier backup of a page:

1. In the editor, click the M menu in the top-left corner.
2. Click Retrieve back-up. The "Recover a back-up of this page" window opens and lists the page's backups, newest first. Each backup shows the profile picture of the person who saved it, plus the date, time and page title at that save.

3. Click the backup you want to restore.
4. Click Recover. The editor loads that version of the page.
5. Click Save to keep the restored version.

You can also double-click a backup in the list to restore it directly, without clicking Recover.

Restoring a backup replaces what is in the editor, including any changes you haven't saved. To keep those changes, click Save before you restore a backup, so they are stored as a backup too. Restoring doesn't change the saved page until you click Save. When you save, the restored version becomes the current version of the page. Your earlier backups stay in the list, so you can switch back if needed. If you restored the wrong backup, restore a different one before you save.

Which backups are kept

Maglr creates a backup each time you save a page in the editor, but not every backup stays in the list. Maglr keeps the 3 most recent backups of a page and a selection of older ones, going back about a year. Older backups are spaced further apart, so the further back you go, the fewer backups there are to choose from.

Frequently asked questions

Does restoring a backup delete my newer versions?

No. Restoring a backup loads it in the editor, and saving makes it the current version of the page. The backups saved before the restore, including the last version you saved before restoring, stay in the "Recover a back-up of this page" list. Changes you hadn't saved before restoring are not in the list. Backups are only removed by Maglr's retention: it keeps the 3 most recent backups of a page and a selection of older ones, going back about a year.

Can I recover changes I never saved?

Backups only contain saved versions of a page, so unsaved changes aren't in the backup list. If the editor closed before you saved, reopening the page in the same browser may show "A more recent version has been found". Click Open most recent version to continue from the copy of your unsaved work that your browser kept.

Does restoring a backup change my published page?

No, not on its own. Restoring a backup and saving it changes the saved version of the page. Your published page only shows the restored version after you publish the page again.
