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.

    Summarizing my first 10 minutes with Webflow Editor:
    -Erased text by mistake and now the block disappeared so no way to put the text back.

    -Willing to redo all my changes manually even if not optimal, but discarding unpublished changes is not even possible

    -Wish I had researched web platforms better before choosing Webflow

    I've been using Webflow since the beginning...and I had this conversation with a client recently and thought surely they've added the undo button by now...surely! But alas....this is such a frustration for clients.

    My organization just switched to Webflow from WordPress. If I had known of this, I would have thought twice. It's very strange!

    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    Is there any update on discarding unpublished changes?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.

    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.

    It's very disappointing guys, this topic has been raised many years ago, and still no progress

    Any updates here? This is incredibly basic and its hard to understand why this has been ignored for 7 years.

    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.

    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...

    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!
