How to Avoid Accidentally Losing Work in Evolve
Outline
If content is accidentally deleted within Evolve, including a component, block, article, or page, it cannot be retrieved without reverting your system to a previous back-up. This means any work completed since the back-up will be lost.
In this article, we provide recommendations on how you can avoid losing content.
Versioning
We recommend using the versioning functionality to regularly create new versions of a course before you intend to make any changes.
Visibility
If you’re unsure whether a particular article or page works within your course rather than deleting it, use the visibility toggle in the page builder to hide the content from your live preview.
