Ability to undo or discard changes for CMS editors
Clients often make mistakes when editing their website and the fact that they have to go back and completely redo what was there before seems unnecessary. I'm surprised this wasn't already on the wish list.
New Webflow user, just had my first handover to a client and had to try and understand with that person why they can't just undo what they did in the demo..
This is ridiculous, can't believe this problem has been around for so long. (7 years!!) Undo is supported in the Designer already.. AND I can undo changes I've done in Editing mode if I go back to Designing mode. !
This blows my mind and affect the confidence I have going forwards with Webflow.
This is needed for CMS Editors as they are prone to making mistakes and having an ability to discard changes prior to publishing would be so damn useful. Bringing clients to webflow from other CMS systems would be easier with that.
I, as an editor (ie a client) expected that my screenshot would be merged with the 'blank screen' placeholder. It wasn't. Now I want to undo my change and can't, even though I haven't published it. I can't even get rid of all the unpublished changes. It's just crap.
As a design/dev agency, we've moved away from recommending Webflow for our clients. This is one of many basic features missing that has made Webflow a poor experience. Hopefully these things are resolved in the future and we can come back.
It's insane that this basic feature isn't implemented. I'm dying of embarrassment explaining this to the client, especially after promoting Webflow as the best CMS. The fact that we can't simply undo or discard changes without going through the absurd process of reverting to the previous version is infuriating—literally causing physical discomfort. Prioritize user-friendly features that actually make sense in the real world. This is a no-brainer, and the fact that it's still on the wishlist is just unbelievable. Thank you.
Pretty wild and embarrassing to me to have to explain to my clients that this isn't a functionality yet after bringing them over to Webflow from competitors.
Webflow, can you at least inform us on why this isn't available yet? Would be helpful to know it's a difficult priority you're working on solving, rather than simply being overlooked. I adore Webflow and have built my entire business on it, but this goes against the quality and reliability I associate with Webflow!
Cannot believe this doesn't exist. I made a bunch of changes and created some new pages. I thought I had unlinked from the parent on our navigation, but apparently the children underneath were still linked and I deleted all of our navigation by accident and cannot undo. I know I can restore from a snapshot, but now have to redo all my work. This seems like a table steaks feature - please help.
2 out of 3 clients contact me after the handover, tell me that they have an unpublished change in the editor that they no longer want / don't know what it is, and ask me how to undo it.
Then I have to give them an overly-complicated answer that they have to publish it, and I restore a previous backup of the site etc. etc... leading to SO MUCH frustration on both sides.
For me, the lack of this feature makes the editor pretty much unusable, the experience for my clients after the handover becomes way worse (leading to less customer satisfaction overall), and it becomes extremely hard for me to keep the promise when selling a website project that it's gonna be "very convenient and easy to manage your website on your own after the handover".

Pleasssssse an UNDO button for editors (clients) and the possibility to remove some unpublished changes
love U webflow
Basic functionality that should be prioritized over new features, etc.
Is there any update on discarding unpublished changes? Clients really need this.
Can't believe it... it was our client's first and main question and our team looked unprofessional, as w had no adequate answer ...
Come on Webflow, this is always a painful conversation with clients, it makes clients very uneasy and reluctant to publish changes at all.

Please please add this!
It's very disappointing guys, this topic has been raised many years ago, and still no progress
Any updates on this webflow?????
Any updates here? This is incredibly basic and its hard to understand why this has been ignored for 7 years.

honestly cant believe there is a no solution for this, how many dang votes does it take to make this most obvious feature ????
5 minutes in to my experience with webflow and discovering this I am about to migrate us off...

FFS Webflow .. why is this not sorted yet?
It's embarrassing to offer the current editor to clients without undo !!!

We desperately need this critical feature!!
