Rollback function
The Rollback feature is a version history tool for messages created in the HTML editor. Every time you manually save your message, Flexmail stores a snapshot you can return to. Up to 10 previous versions are kept.
Attention Rollback is only available for messages created with the HTML editor. The Email Builder only has undo/redo within a session, without permanent version history. The Wizard Template has no version history at all.
Using Rollback
- Open your message in the HTML editor.
- Scroll to the bottom of the editor.
- Click the Rollback button.
- A list of up to 10 saved versions appears, each with a timestamp. Your current unsaved state is displayed as "Draft".
- Click Preview next to a version to open a visual preview of it.
- If you want to restore that version, click Rollback. The editor immediately switches to that version.
How versions are managed
Flexmail keeps a maximum of 10 versions. When you save a new version and already have 10 versions, the oldest one is removed. Restoring a previous version does not immediately delete the newer versions, they remain in the list until they are pushed out by subsequent saves.
Pro tips
Support tip Save manually after every significant change while working in the HTML editor. Each save creates a restore point. If you accidentally delete a section or overwrite content you wanted to keep, Rollback is your only recovery option.
- Save after each large section of edits, not just at the end. Detailed restore points are more useful than a single rollback option.
- Save before you make a large structural change, such as deleting a section or replacing a template, so you have a restore point to return to if something goes wrong.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Not saving regularly. Rollback only works if you have saved. If you make a large change and do not save a checkpoint beforehand, there is nothing to roll back to.
- Assuming Rollback is available in the Email Builder or Wizard Template. That is not the case. If you need version history, use the HTML editor.
