Restoring Dashboard Versions

Restoring Dashboard Versions - Review saved dashboard versions, restore an earlier version, and publish it again when it is ready.

Review saved dashboard versions, restore an earlier version, and publish it again when it is ready.

Use version history to return a dashboard to an earlier published version. Each time you publish, Dashbreeze saves the blocks and their positions so you can restore them later.

Versions are created when you publish:Editing a dashboard does not create a version. A new version is added to History only when you publish the dashboard.

How version history works

Open History in the left sidebar while editing a dashboard. Published versions appear from newest to oldest.

1. Publish

Make the current dashboard live.

2. Version saved

Blocks and their positions are stored.

3. Restore later

Return to that saved version when needed.

What each version shows

Use these details to identify the version you want before restoring it.

Version

Versions are numbered v1, v2, v3, and so on. The newest one is marked Current.

Published by

Shows the workspace member who published that version.

Published on

Shows the publication date and how long ago it was published.

How to restore a dashboard version

  1. Open History in the left sidebar.
  2. Use the version number, publisher, and date to find the version you want.
  3. Click Restore.
  4. Read the confirmation message, then confirm that you want to restore it.
  5. Check the dashboard. Publish it when you are ready for viewers to see the restored version.

What changes after you restore?

Workspace members see the restored blocks and layout in the editor. The dashboard you were editing is replaced, so any unpublished changes are permanently lost.

Dashboard viewers continue to see the last published version. Publish again to make the restored version live.

Check your unpublished changes first:Unpublished work is not saved in History and is lost when you restore. If you may need your latest work later, publish it to create a version before restoring an older one.

Why is the version history empty?

A new dashboard has no saved versions until you publish it for the first time. Click Publish Dashboard to create your first version. After that, each publish adds a new version to the top of the list.
