You can't accidentally destroy content in Velaro Site. Every time you click Publish Now on a page — whether from the Raw HTML editor, the SEO fields form, or a scheduled/draft publish going live — the tool records the exact content you just published as a new, permanently retrievable version before it touches the live file. Nothing is ever overwritten in place.

The very first time a page is published through Velaro Site, the tool also takes a "baseline" snapshot of whatever content was already live, so there's always something to roll back to, even for pages that predate this system.

Viewing a page's history

1. Open the page in the Pages tab.
2. Its version history is listed alongside the editor, newest first, with a timestamp, the author, and an optional note for each version.

Screenshot callout: a page's history panel showing several versions stacked, each with a timestamp/author/note, and a Rollback button next to an older one.

Rolling back

Pick any earlier version and choose Rollback. Velaro Site doesn't delete anything to do this — a rollback publishes the old content as a brand-new version at the top of the history, so the rollback itself is recorded and can itself be undone by rolling forward again. You'll never lose the "current" version by rolling back to an older one; it's just added to history like everything else.

Where versions are stored (and why that matters to you)

Every version is stored twice, independently: once in the site's own Git history (which also gives Velaro's engineering team a full audit trail), and a second copy in Azure Blob Storage as a backup. If the primary copy is ever unavailable for some reason, Velaro Site automatically falls back to the backup copy to complete your rollback — you won't notice this happening, and you don't need to do anything differently. This is purely a resilience layer under the hood.

FAQ

Can I see a diff between two versions?

Not yet inside the Pages tab's history panel itself — but the Promote tab does show you a full diff of every page between staging and production before you go live, which is the most common time you'd want to compare content. See "Going Live: Staging to Production."

Does rolling back also affect production?

No. A rollback (like any publish) lands on staging (v20.velaro.com) first. It reaches production only when you promote it — see the next article.
