Why are backups important in Webflow?
A careless click, an incorrect update, or an accidentally deleted element — and the website is no longer as it should be. In such moments, save yourself backups! With regular backups, you can protect your Webflow project from unexpected data loss and restore it back to an earlier state at any time.

How do backups work in Webflow?
Webflow automatically creates as soon as you make significant changes to your site, such as:
- When publishing a new version
- When importing CMS data
- For major design changes
In addition, you can manually create a backup if you want to secure a special update.
