To stop a page you’re redesigning from going live with it, create its new version. The live page doesn’t change until that version is published. *### If I roll back, do I lose the requests received since?* No. A version holds your content, your design and your settings. Requests received since stay in your list. *### What if I want to go back further than five publishes?* Yes, with our team. Your site is backed up every night away from its server. We can put it back as it was on one of the last nights. [See backups](https://lovelyrender.com/hosting/) *### Is my site down while it’s being published?* — No. Your visitors see the old site until the very last second. *### Does the Publish screen show everything that will go live?* No. It shows your content and your design. Your settings go live without appearing in the list. ## Publish and go back with our guides - ### [Publish your site](https://lovelyrender.com/documentation/publish-site/) - ### [Prepare a new version of a live page](https://lovelyrender.com/documentation/prepare-new-version/) - ### [Restore a site version](https://lovelyrender.com/documentation/restore-site-version/) ## Every plan includes preparation and rollback Plans differ only in traffic and storage.
