Append-only version history
Every publish creates a new semantic version (1.0.0, 1.0.1, …). Drafts are never overwritten. The full audit trail is preserved forever.
Publishing
Publish fearlessly
Every version is kept forever, diffable visually and in code, and revertible in one click. Staging and production are separate gates with their own permissions.
Version history you can trust
Append-only publishing means you never lose a version. Widgets support visual compare, JSON diff, republish, and restore-to-draft.
Visual and code diff
Compare any two versions side-by-side — rendered previews across desktop, tablet, and phone, plus JSON and split-diff code views.
One-click revert
Republish any previous version to roll back live content instantly. Restore any version to draft for further editing — history stays intact.
Staging → production gates
Publish to staging first. Separate permissions control who can promote to production. Every gate is permission-aware.
The publishing workflow
Edit draft
Compose in the visual editor or edit JSON. Auto-save keeps work safe.
Publish to staging
Ship to staging. Compare versions before promoting.
Compare versions
Visual preview diff and JSON diff between any two versions.
Promote to production
Production publish requires separate permissions.
Revert if needed
One-click republish of any previous version.
Widgets and shared collections share the same publishing workflow: version history, visual and JSON compare, republish a previous version, and restore any version back into your draft.
Pair publishing with automatic cache invalidation so republished content reaches your sites immediately.
