Page revisions

Page revisions make it easier for you to design and test pages, as they can be used to rollback a Nintex Apps page to a previous point in its development. There are two types of page revisions:

  • Unnamed revisions: An unnamed revision is created each time a Nintex Apps page is saved. These revisions have a name format of UNNAMED REVISION MONTH-DAY-YEAR HOUR:MINUTE.

    These revisions allow end users to quickly revert a page to a previous state. However, the amount of unnamed revisions a page will generate is limited by the Max unnamed revision property under General tab in Page properties. Unnamed revisions will be deleted—oldest first—once this limit is reached.

    Note: 
    • Nintex Apps does not automatically save your work in the Page Designer.
    • The date/time stamps in unnamed revisions are based on your organization's time zone, not the time zones of the builders that create revisions.

  • Named revisions: A named revision is more permanent than an unnamed revision, intended to represent a specific moment in a page's development. Named revisions have descriptions and are never automatically deleted.

See a page's revisions

To see a list of page revisions, open the Revision history:

  1. In the Page Designer, click the vertical dots and select Revisions.

  2. From here, a list of all available page revisions is displayed. Turn on the Named revisions only toggle to only display named revisions of a page—useful for quickly discerning intentional milestones in a page's development.

  3. The search feature in this list will search both the Name and Created By fields.

Create named revisions

Named revisions can be created manually or by converting an unnamed revision into a named revision.

To manually create a named revision:

  1. Click the + (plus sign) to Create a revision.
  2. Enter a name for the revision.
  3. Click Save.

To convert an unnamed revision to a named revision:

  1. Click the vertical dots next to an unnamed revision and select Rename.
  2. Update the name of the revision.
  3. Click Save. Once an unnamed revision has a name, it is considered a named revision and will not be deleted.

Restore previous revisions

To restore a Nintex Apps page to a previous revision:

  1. Open the Revision history.
  2. Find the revision you wish to restore.
  3. Click the vertical dots next to the revision and select Restore. The selected page's revision will then be applied within the Page Designer as unsaved changes.
  4. Click Done in the Revision history to save this newly restored revision.

Delete revisions

To manually delete any revision:

  1. Open the Revision history.
  2. Find the revision you wish to delete.
  3. Click the vertical dots next to the revision and select Delete.
  4. Repeat this for any other revisions you wish to delete.
  5. Click Done in the Revision history.
