How to Restore Your Previous Published Version from Revision History

December 5, 2025

When working in Draft mode, you might need to restore a previously published version of a Form. Using Revision History, you can view the form’s edit history and go back to an older version of the Form. 

Access to Revision History

  1. In Form Builder, under the Build tab, click on the Clock icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

In the Revision History panel, all past and current versions of the form are listed in chronological order. If your form has draft changes, the draft version will appear at the top, under Current Draft.

What Happens When You Restore a Version

Restoring a previous version of the form in Draft Mode removes all edits and changes made after that date and time. This then becomes the working draft in the Form Builder. 

Additionally, the live version of the form remains the same, until you publish or sync with the restored Draft. 

  • Restoring a previous version will discard any changes that were made after that version, whether they were synced or not.

Restoring a version is helpful when you need to roll back recent changes, recover a previous layout, or continue editing from a known stable point without affecting your live form.
