History & versions
Automatically or manually save versions, and restore previous versions of your Hex project.
- Available on the Team and Enterprise plans.
- The Professional plan is limited to 30-day version history.
By default, projects have a simple but powerful version control engine built-in that lets you see what's been changing in projects and restore to earlier versions.
Version and edit history can be found in the left sidebar of Hex projects, in the History & versions section. Versions, edits, and comments are all presented in a chronological timeline, with brief descriptions of who made changes and what they did.
To access previous versions, select that version from the timeline. This will open the version history dialog where you can view historical versions.
When viewing a historical version, you'll have the option to restore the project to that version.
Save a version
Hex automatically saves every change you make in the logic. However, it is only possible to revert a project to a saved version, rather than any instantaneous state of the project. An "Autosave" version is automatically created one hour after the most recent change to the project. You can also manually save named versions by choosing Save version from the History & versions sidebar tab. A new version will also be created each time the project is published.
Publish an app
Publishing a version of a Hex project is similar to saving a version, except it also updates the currently-live version of the app that users will see. Read the Publishing page for more details. Every publish creates a new version.
