Page revisions

Page revisions make it easier to design and test pages by allowing you to roll back 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 you to quickly revert a page to a previous state. However, the number of unnamed revisions a page will generate is limited by the Max unnamed revision property under the General tab in Page properties. When this limit is reached, the oldest unnamed revisions are deleted first.

  • Note: 
    • Nintex Apps does not automatically save your work in the Page Designer.

    • The date and 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 represents a specific point in a page's development. It includes a description and is never automatically deleted.
