Revision History

Roll back to a previous version.

Written by Steve Jones

Every time you publish a product or variant in Tabs+, the previous version is kept as a revision. If you ever need to roll back, the revision history viewer lets you browse those previous versions and restore one with a couple of clicks.

Please note:

Revision history is a Pro plan feature. See Plans & pricing.

Opening the revision history

  1. Open the product in the Tabs+ admin.

  2. If you want a variant's history, pick the variant from the list on the left first.

  3. Click Revision history in the secondary actions menu (next to Publish changes).

If there's no history yet for the selected product or variant, you'll see a message saying so. History is only created from the moment you first publish content with Tabs+.

Browsing revisions

The revision history popup shows:

  • A dropdown listing all available revisions, with the date and time each was published. The most recent is at the top.

  • The product or variant title as it was at the time of that revision.

  • The main description as it was at the time.

  • Each tab as it was at the time, in the same order, including which shared tabs were attached.

The view is read-only - you're looking at a snapshot.

Restoring a revision

  1. Pick the revision you want to restore from the dropdown.

  2. Click Revert to revision.

  3. The product (or variant) is updated to match that revision's content. The change goes live immediately.

Reverting itself creates a new revision, so if you change your mind you can revert back again.

Notes & tips

  • Variants and products have separate revision histories. To restore a variant's content, select the variant first and then open revision history.

  • Reverting only changes content managed by Tabs+ (titles, descriptions, tabs). It doesn't change anything else about the product in Shopify (price, inventory, images, etc.).

  • If a revision references a shared tab that has since been deleted, that tab will no longer appear when reverted - but the rest of the content is restored as expected.

  • There's no “undo” on a revert other than reverting again to a different revision, so double-check the snapshot before restoring.
