If you click Revert on a ZIP- or HTML-imported Website Studio project and the preview still shows your AI changes, the revert did work — refresh your browser or switch pages to see the original version. A fix is rolling out now.

🔍 What's Happening in Website Studio

After you apply AI modifications to a Website Studio project that was imported through ZIP upload or HTML upload, clicking Revert does not refresh the editor preview in real time. The page looks unchanged, so it can appear the revert failed.

The revert actually succeeds on the backend. The original page state is restored — only the live preview display lags behind.

Who is affected

  • Customers using Website Studio projects created via ZIP upload or HTML upload.
  • Anyone clicking Revert after applying AI modifications to those projects.

Projects created through other import methods are not impacted by this display issue.

🛠️ Workaround to See the Reverted Page

Use these steps to display the restored original version right away:

  1. Click Revert on your ZIP- or HTML-imported project as usual.
  2. Refresh your browser, or navigate to another page in the editor and then back to this one.
  3. View the page — the reverted (original) state now displays correctly.

You'll see your page restored to its original version, confirming the revert applied successfully.

📡 Engineering Status for This Issue

Our team is aware of this display behavior and has addressed it. The fix is currently rolling out, after which the editor preview will update in real time when you click Revert. No action is needed on your part to receive the fix.

📞 When to Contact Support

The revert is applied on the backend even when the preview looks unchanged, so the refresh workaround resolves the display in nearly all cases. Contact Search Atlas Support if:

  • You refresh the browser or switch pages and the original version still does not appear.
  • Your reverted content shows incorrect or missing elements after refreshing.

Share your project name and import method (ZIP or HTML) so the team can review your case quickly.

🎯 Your revert is safe — the team has the fix in motion, and a quick refresh shows your original page restored in the meantime.
