Renovation Design Log · User Manual

Core Function: Each time you save a renovation configuration, the system automatically generates a version archive. When an incorrect operation occurs or you need to roll back, you can quickly restore it in just a few steps without redoing your work.

Supported Pages

The plugin currently supports automatic backup for the following 4 core areas:

• Homepage Renovation

• Menu Renovation

• Footer Renovation

• App Homepage Renovation

1. Quick Start: Enabling the Plugin

1. Go to the admin panel and navigate to the [Apps / Plugins] list.

2. Locate [Renovation Design Log].

3. Click [Install] and switch the status to [Enabled].

   • Note: Only needs to be enabled once, and it will work permanently.

2. Automatic Recording Mechanism

You don't need to do anything extra; the plugin works silently in the background:

1. Edit normally: Make renovation changes on the 4 pages mentioned above.

2. Click Save: After completing your changes, click the [Save] button in the top-right corner.

3. Auto-archive: The system will automatically save the current configuration to the history log.

💡 Note:

• Archiving is triggered only when you click "Save"; preview mode or unsaved changes are not recorded.

• To save space, if the modified content is exactly the same as the previous version, the system will not create a duplicate archive.

3. Viewing History

1. Go to the renovation page and click the [Log History] button next to the "Save" button.

2. A popup will display all historical versions of the page (displayed in pages by default, 10 entries per page).

4. Restoring Versions and Applying (Important Process)

Step 1: Restore to the Current Editing Page

1. In the popup list, find the target version you need.

2. Click [Restore to this version] on the right.

3. The system will show a confirmation dialog. Click [Confirm].

   • At this point, the old version content will load into the current renovation page, and you can preview the result immediately.

Step 2: Confirm Save (Apply Permanently)

⚠️ Special Reminder: Restoring ≠ Applying permanently.

1. Preview and adjust: After restoration, the content is only shown in the edit area and has not been written to the database. You can check the result and make fine adjustments.

2. Apply permanently: Once confirmed, you MUST click the [Save] button in the top-right corner for the front-end website to be officially updated.

3. Safe cancellation: If the restored version is not as expected, do NOT click Save. Simply refresh the page or leave, and the original page will remain unchanged.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Data usage: The plugin implements a circular overwrite mechanism, retaining at most the most recent 100 entries per page. Older data is automatically cleaned up.

• Security: Restore operations only take effect in the editing backend. Until you click "Save," the front-end website is completely unaffected.

• Button not found: If you don't see the "Log History" button, first check that the plugin is enabled, and try refreshing the renovation page.

💡 One-sentence workflow:

Renovate → Click Save (auto-archive) → If something is deleted, click "Log History" → "Restore to this version" → Once satisfied, click "Save" again.
