Restoring themes from backups

Open Vault backups in Theme Updater & Backups to access your Theme Backups.

Select the Themes tab to reveal backups available for restoration.

Select a version to restore

Click Select version beside one of the available backups to view details.

To restore this version, select Restore past version.

What actions generate backups for your themes?

There are two key events that trigger automatic backups for your themes:

1. Upload or install a new theme in your Online Store
2. Publish (or unpublish) a theme

What can I do to get more backups?

Due to limitations with the API, changes made in the theme editor will not trigger automatic backups.

We recommend the following workflow to ensure you have the backups you need when making changes:

1. Make a copy of the published theme
           [⋯] > Duplicate
2. Adjust the unpublished duplicate
           Customize
3. "Publish" the duplicate with the new edits
           Publish

By following this workflow, Vault generates a backup for both themes. The theme without the new changes is backed up when unpublished, while the new theme with the changes is backed up when published.
