How to use Webflow’s backup and restore feature?

Step 1: Access the Dashboard

First things first, log in to Webflow and head over to the dashboard. Pick the project you want to back up.

Step 2: Open Project Settings

Once you're in the project, look for the "Project Settings" button. It's usually hanging out in the top right corner. Click it to dive into the settings.

Step 3: Navigate to Backups

In "Project Settings", find the "Backups" tab. This is your go-to spot for managing all your backups.

Step 4: Create a New Backup

To make a new backup, hit the “Create a Backup” button. You can add a description if you want, just to make it easier to find later.

Step 5: Confirm Backup Creation

You'll see a confirmation message pop up. Confirm it, and Webflow will take a snapshot of your project's current state.

Step 6: View Existing Backups

To check out your existing backups, scroll through the list in the "Backups" tab. Each one is timestamped and might have a description if you added one.

Step 7: Restore from Backup

If you need to restore a project, find the backup you want and click the “Restore” button next to it. A confirmation message will pop up; just confirm you want to restore it.

Step 8: Final Confirmation

After confirming, Webflow will replace the current project state with the one from the backup. Just wait for it to finish.

Step 9: Verify Restoration

Once it's done, go through your project to make sure everything is as it should be. Double-check to see if everything's in place.

Step 10: Regular Backups

Make it a habit to create backups regularly. This way, you'll always have recent versions of your project saved, protecting you from unexpected errors or data loss.
