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:

  • Auto-save revisions: An auto-save revision is generated each time a Nintex Apps page is saved. These revisions have a name format of AUTO-SAVE YEAR-MONTH-DAY HOUR:MINUTE:SECOND .

    These revisions allow end users to quickly revert a page to a previous state. However, the amount of auto-saves a page will generate is limited by the Max auto-saves property. Auto-save revisions will be deleted—oldest first—once this limit is reached.

    Note: 
    • Despite the name, Nintex Apps does not automatically save your work in the Page Designer.
    • The date/time stamps in auto-save names 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 auto-save revision, intended to represent a specific moment in a page's development. Named revisions have descriptions and are never automatically deleted.
