Custom HTML Code Version Control and Restoration

Version control applies only to custom code editors and does not affect other layout changes.

To facilitate easy code changes in Korbyt's Custom Code sections, we now offer the ability to restore custom code to a previously published version.

Saving New Code Versions

This occurs automatically when a Layout containing custom code is published.

The 10 most recently published versions of code will be saved in the Previous Code sections, including HTML Elements

Restoring a Previous Code Version

To restore a previous code version

  • In the Layout Builder, find the HTML Element you want to restore

  • Click on the Gear icon for that element to open its settings menu

  • Click on Edit Element

  • Click on Versions in the control ribbon

  • This will display a list of previous code versions.

    • Select the one you wish to restore to

  • Click Republish

  • This will restore that code version to be the active code in the Layout
