Design Log – Design Builder Version History Plugin
Overview
Design Log is a plugin that adds version history recording and restoration capabilities to the admin design builder. It places a "History" button next to the "Save" button on the homepage builder, footer builder, menu builder, and app-home builder pages. Every time you save, a complete snapshot of the design data is automatically recorded. You can view historical versions at any time and restore any version into the current design (restoration requires manually clicking "Save" to persist). Say goodbye to the anxiety of irreversible mistakes – making design work safer and more controllable.
