Tier: Core polish · Order: 24 of 35 · Effort: M · Impact: high

What

A History panel lists saves and publishes by date. Preview any one, restore it, or restore just one page.

Why

The most-requested missing feature across user research. Webflow, Wix and Elementor all have it. Underpins the “it just keeps working” pitch.

Today

None.

Design notes

Gzipped full snapshots in .site-builder/history/ (no DB, no diffs). Restore loads the snapshot as unsaved state so the user still clicks Save.

Depends on

  • #29 Rotating server-side backups on every save
  • #30 Honest save state and publish gated on save

From the 2026-10-07 site-builder research (competitor review, user sentiment, code audit, Fable prioritization). Roadmap: https://claude.ai/artifact/QpQcSCk21z6SN7LPSm8tKE · id version-history-ui
