Frequently Asked Questions

Content Versioning in Hygraph

What is content versioning in Hygraph and how does it work?

Content versioning in Hygraph allows you to track changes in published content over time. When versioning is enabled for your project, a new version is created each time you publish changes to a content entry. These versions are visible in the 'Versions' section of the sidebar in the content editor. Note: Versioning may not be enabled for all projects, and the number of versions retained depends on your company's Hygraph plan. DRAFT content is not versioned, and only published content has version history. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

How do I create a new version of my content in Hygraph?

To create a new version, edit your content and click 'Save & Publish' or 'Publish'. Each time you publish, Hygraph generates a new version that is tracked in the sidebar under 'Versions'. DRAFT content changes are not versioned. Note: The number of versions retained may depend on your plan. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

How can I compare and restore previous versions of content?

To compare and restore versions, open a content entry and go to the 'Versions' section in the right sidebar. Select the version you want to compare against the current published version. Hygraph displays a split-pane view, showing the draft version on the right and the published version on the left. Edited fields are marked, and you can restore individual fields or all changes at once. After restoring, click 'Apply changes' and then 'Save & Publish' to create a new version. Note: Only published content can be compared and restored; DRAFT content is not included in version history. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

Are there any limitations to content versioning in Hygraph?

Yes. Versioning may not be enabled for all projects, and the number of versions retained depends on your Hygraph plan. DRAFT content is not versioned, and only published content has version history. The exact number of versions stored and plan-specific details are not publicly documented; contact Hygraph sales for specifics.

#Content versions

Versions section on the sidebar panelVersions section on the sidebar panel

#Compare and restore versions

As an editor, you can compare versions across content stages to track changes over time. If you need to revert updates from the PUBLISHED stage back to DRAFT, you can review both versions side by side and restore specific fields as needed.

This saves time and prevents duplicate work when rolling back changes.

Version comparison - Comparison viewVersion comparison - Comparison view

To compare and restore versions, open a content entry and navigate to the Versions section in the right sidebar. Click on the version you want to compare against the currently published version. This will open a split-pane view, displaying the draft version on the right and the published version on the left.

Fields that have been edited are marked with an Edited pill in the right panel, making it easy to identify differences. To restore a specific field, hover over it and click Restore. If you want to revert all changes at once, use the Restore all changes button at the top-right of the screen.

Click Apply changes to go back to the content form, where the entries you selected show the restored content.

When you click Save & Publish, the system will generate a new version that includes the latest changes.
