Frequently asked questions

How do I open Version History in Framer?

Open Version History from the File menu or Quick Actions. You can also use Command-Shift-H on Mac or Control-Shift-H on Windows.

How often does Framer save versions?

Version History records snapshots during active editing, approximately every ten minutes in the workflow shown. The timeline includes work from you and your collaborators.

Can I restore one layer without restoring the complete project?

Yes. Open an earlier version, copy the layer or section you need, return to the latest version, and paste it into the current layout.

Can Version History replace an existing section?

Yes. When you paste an earlier copy of a section that already exists, Framer can offer to replace the current section instead of adding a duplicate. Review the result before continuing your edits.

Does restoring a section preserve its breakpoints?

The replacement workflow shown preserves the breakpoint structure attached to the section. Check each breakpoint after restoring because the surrounding page may have changed since that version was saved.
