Is it possible to restore a single page from a backup in Webflow without losing any recent changes or integrations made?
TL;DR
- Webflow only allows full-site restores, so to recover a single page, duplicate the backup into a new project and manually copy the desired page's content into your original project.
- Recreate interactions and custom code as needed, and use page duplication and backups to avoid future data loss.
Webflow does not currently support restoring a single page from a backup—restores apply to the entire project, replacing all content and settings. This makes it risky if recent changes were made elsewhere in the site.
1. Understand How Webflow Backups Work
- Backups are version-wide: Restoring a backup will overwrite all project content, including CMS records, styles, custom code, and settings.
- You cannot isolate a single page in a restore—there is no “partial” or “selective” restore feature.
2. Workaround Using Manual Duplication
If you need to recover a single page from a previous backup, you can use this workaround:
- Open the backup version of your site and duplicate it into a new Webflow project (a paid workspace plan may be required to create additional projects).
- In the new duplicated project, copy the elements from the desired page manually (sections, elements, styles).
- In your original (live) project, create a new page or overwrite the content of the existing one with the copied components.
- Manually recreate interactions, custom code, and CMS bindings if needed, since these don’t always transfer perfectly via copy-paste.
3. Preventing Future Risks
- Duplicate pages regularly for safekeeping: Webflow allows manual page duplication within a project.
- Backup before major edits: Create a manual backup before large-scale changes or integration work.
- Use version control helpers: Consider external documentation or visual diff tools to track critical page content or custom code changes.
Summary
Webflow does not allow restoring a single page from a backup directly. To recover one page without affecting recent changes, duplicate the full backup into a separate project and copy the necessary content manually.
