Webflow sync, pageviews & more.

Is it possible to restore a single page from a backup in Webflow without losing any recent changes or integrations made?

TL;DR
  • Webflow backups are site-wide; you cannot restore just one page without impacting the whole site.
  • To recover a single page, temporarily restore the backup, duplicate the project, then manually copy-paste the needed page elements into your current site.
  • Carefully manage CMS content, integrations, and page settings during the transfer to avoid issues.

Restoring a single page from a backup in Webflow without affecting recent changes to other parts of the site is not directly possible using Webflow's built-in tools.

1. How Webflow Backups Work

  • Webflow backups are site-wide, meaning when you restore a backup, the entire site reverts to that saved state.
  • You cannot selectively restore just one page without impacting the rest of the project.

2. Workarounds to Restore One Page

  • Duplicate the backup first:
  • Go to Backups in the Designer.
  • Restore the backup temporarily.
  • Immediately duplicate the project (Dashboard → Duplicate this Site).
  • Manually copy the page content:
  • From the duplicated backup version, copy-paste elements from the old page into your current project.
  • Alternatively, copy the page’s structure and recreate it manually in the current site.
  • Save time by using Symbols (reusable components):
  • If sections were saved as Symbols, you can copy Symbols more easily between projects.

3. Points to Watch Out For

  • CMS items: If the old page uses CMS Collections, be cautious—these elements may need manual syncing if changes have occurred.
  • Integrations: If recent code embeds (like custom scripts) were added, do not overwrite your settings when transferring elements.
  • Page Settings: Things like SEO meta titles and Open Graph images won't copy automatically—you must re-configure them.

4. Future-Proofing Tip

  • To avoid this problem in the future, regularly duplicate your project manually or save a personal copy of important page layouts (e.g., by exporting the code or keeping design files elsewhere).

Summary

You cannot selectively restore a single page in Webflow from a backup without affecting the entire project. The best method is to restore the backup temporarily, duplicate the project, and manually copy the page content back into the live project. Always proceed carefully to avoid overwriting newer changes.
