The **History** page lists two things together: versions you published, and
snapshots you took by hand. Both are a frozen copy of the custom at a moment in
time, and either can be restored.

Open it from the **Save** menu at the top of the **Quiz**, **Video background**,
**Record**, **Landing page** or **Delivery** tab: click **Save**, then **Version History...**. In the list,
versions you published are marked **Published** (the one that's live,
**Live**) and your snapshots **Saved**.

## What a version captures

Everything that makes the custom what it is: your questions, your scenes and
their recordings, your video background, your **Landing page**, your scores, your
follow-ups, and the design settings that go with them.

It does **not** capture the leads who came through it. Your leads and their
videos belong to the custom itself, not to a version, so restoring never touches
them.

## Taking a snapshot

Click **Save**, then **Save this version**, before anything you might want to
undo. Give it a name you'll recognise later — "before the pricing rewrite" beats
a timestamp when you're looking at a list of them weeks on. Leave the name empty
and the snapshot is named with the date and time.

**Save this version** is greyed out when there are no changes to save since your
last snapshot or publish.

Publishing keeps a version automatically, so you don't need a snapshot for that.
Snapshots are for the moments between publishes.

## Restoring

Select a version and preview it first — **Questions**, **Background** and
**Clips** each have a tab, so you can check it's the one you meant before
committing. Then click **Restore**.

Restoring **replaces your current draft** with that version's contents. Anything
you've changed since and haven't published is overwritten — the confirmation
warns that this can't be undone — so take a snapshot of where you are now if
you're not certain. **Restore** is greyed out when your draft already matches
that version.

Restoring doesn't publish. Your live custom keeps serving what it served before
until you publish again — which gives you room to look the restored version over
first.

## A note on housekeeping

The list keeps a working number of entries rather than everything forever. Named
snapshots are the ones worth taking when something matters: they're easier to
find, and a name tells you why you took it.
