# Does restoring a website version rewind customer data?

Restoring a Uvilno website version restores its preview and design snapshot; it does not rewind customer records or completed external operations. Review schema compatibility before rollback. Keep a data recovery plan, and never assume a visual version selector reverses payments, account changes or database writes.

A saved code version and a live data store evolve independently. An older interface may expect a field or route that no longer matches current records. Inspect that contract before restoring and avoid destructive corrections made solely to fit a historical screen.

For a real incident, identify the time and scope of the bad operation, preserve evidence and use the actual data recovery process. Draft settings can remain pending separately from the displayed version. Explain clearly which part of the system each recovery action changes.

## What to verify

| Check | Published behavior | Verification |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Version | Saved preview and applied settings can be restored. | Inspect the selected version and route behavior. |
| Data | Customer records are not automatically rewound. | Check actual rows before and after a safe rollback test. |
| External actions | Payments and integrations need their own reversal process. | Consult the service's actual status and recovery tools. |

## Steps

1. Record the current working version and schema.
2. Check the historical interface's compatibility.
3. Plan data recovery separately from code restoration.

## Editable starting brief

Plan a rollback checklist for a data-backed task app. Separate saved source and applied design from customer records, preserve the current version, inspect field compatibility and explain how pending draft edits remain separate. Do not imply that restoring a preview undoes database mutations, payments or external operations.
