Overview
Every Taskade Genesis app keeps a running history of every change. You can preview an old version and restore it with one click, so nothing you build ever gets silently overwritten.
TL;DR: Taskade Genesis auto-saves a new version every time your app changes, whether you typed it, Taskade EVE generated it, or the AI fixer applied it. Roll back to any earlier state in one click. Rollbacks are safe: each one adds a new version on top, so you can always undo the undo. Pairs with GitHub Export for git-style version control. See it →
Read your version timeline
Open the version history panel to see every saved point in time. Each entry shows when it happened, what changed, and a Restore button. Your newest version sits at the top, and history runs back to the very first build.

See what is saved and how to restore it
Every version is a complete snapshot, not just a list of edits. Use the table below to know what is captured, how far back you can go, and how to bring an old version back.
| What is saved | How far back | How to restore |
|---|---|---|
| App code and layout | Every version since the first build | Click Restore on that version |
| Page structure and data connections | Full history, nothing is pruned | Preview first, then Restore |
| Styles, branding, and configuration | Every saved point in time | One click, no rebuild needed |
| Changes from you, Taskade EVE, or the AI fixer | All tracked the same way | Same Restore button for all |
View version history
Open the panel from the builder toolbar so you can browse and compare saved versions.
- Open your Taskade Genesis app in the builder.
- Click the version history icon in the toolbar (the clock icon).
- Browse previous versions. Each shows a timestamp and a summary of what changed.
- Preview any version before you restore it.
Roll back to a previous version
Pick the version you want, then restore it. Your app returns to that exact state right away.
- Open version history from the toolbar.
- Select the version you want to bring back.
- Click Restore to roll your app back to that state.
- Your app instantly returns to the selected version.
💡 Tip: Rolling back creates a new version entry, so you can always undo a rollback by restoring the version right before it.
Understand why a rollback is always safe
Restoring an old version never deletes anything. Each restore lands as a fresh version on top of your history, so the full change log stays intact forever. This is the part Stephane cares about: an edit, an agent, or a teammate can never silently wipe earlier work.
Notice the flow ends on a brand new version, not on the old one you picked. The old versions all still exist, so you can roll back again to any of them. A rollback is just one more step in the timeline.
After rolling back at v4 you land on v5, not back at v2. The versions v2, v3, and v4 all still exist in history, ready to restore again.
Know when to roll back
Reach for rollback whenever you want to undo a change without rebuilding from scratch.
- Broken changes: an update introduced a bug? Roll back instantly.
- Experimentation: try different approaches without risk.
- Client feedback: restore a version a client preferred.
- Accidental deletion: recover deleted components or pages.
Tips
- Non-destructive by design: rolling back never deletes newer versions. Every restore creates a new entry, so your full history is always preserved.
- Preview before restoring: always preview a version before clicking Restore to confirm it has the state you want.
- Combine with publishing: after rolling back, republish your app to push the restored version live.
- Use for A/B testing: build two versions of a page, switch between them with rollback, and compare results with your team.
