Undo Changes & Version History

Made a change you regret? Kite keeps checkpoints of your project as you work, so you can preview an earlier version and roll back to it. This page shows you where to find those controls and what to do if you can't.

Symptom​

  • An edit changed your site in a way you didn't want.
  • You'd like to go back to how things looked before a recent request.

Cause​

Each time Kite makes a change for you, it can save a checkpoint — a snapshot of your project at that moment. That's what lets you undo a bad edit by returning to an earlier point.

Fix — preview and revert to a checkpoint​

  1. Open the chat or highlights view where you've been giving Kite instructions. Each of the assistant's responses corresponds to a change it made.
  2. Look below the assistant's responses for the checkpoint preview and revert controls.
  3. Use checkpoint preview to see what your site looked like at that earlier point — before you commit to anything.
  4. Use revert to roll your project back to that checkpoint once you've found the version you want.
  5. Review your site in the preview pane to confirm it's back the way you want it.
Preview before you revert

Use the checkpoint preview first so you can confirm you're rolling back to the right version. That way there are no surprises.

Known limitation​

Version history and revert rely on the checkpoints feature. For sites whose changes were made before checkpoints existed, earlier versions may not be available to preview or revert to.

Can't find the checkpoint controls?​

If you don't see the checkpoint preview or revert options, or the version you need isn't there:

  1. Refresh the page and reopen the chat or highlights view — the controls may not have loaded.
  2. Reopen the project for a fresh session.
  3. Contact support. Reach out with your app URL and a description of the version you're trying to get back to. The more detail you can give about when the change happened, the better we can help.
