Como Visualizar o Histórico do Seu Formulário no WordPress

Step 1: Open the Form Builder

First, log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to WPForms » All Forms.

Then, just click on the form you want to review. Doing so will open up the form builder where you can view your form history.

Step 2: Access the Revisions Panel

Once the form builder opens, look for the clock icon in the lower left corner.

This is the Form Revisions panel. You’ll use this access panel to browse your form history and make modifications.

Step 3: Browse Previous Versions

Clicking the clock icon will display a list of previous versions of your form. Each version includes a timestamp and the user who made the changes.

You can view any revision by clicking on it.

You’ll see the previous version of your form in the preview area on the right side of the builder.

Step 4: Restore a Previous Version

To restore an earlier version of your form, simply click on it, then hit Restore this revision on the alert bar at the top of your form.

Your form will then revert to the older version with the exact fields and settings it had at the time it was saved.

Bonus Tip: Disabled and Limited Revisions

By default, WPForms keeps a history of form revisions. However, certain hosting providers or plugins may impose restrictions that disable or limit this feature. So if WordPress post revisions are restricted or turned off on your site, WPForms form revisions will also be affected.

If post revisions are disabled, a red exclamation mark will appear next to the form revisions icon in the form builder. Then, in the Form Revisions panel, you’ll see a message indicating that WordPress post revisions have been disabled.

If revisions are enabled but your site has a set limit on how many revisions can be stored, you’ll see a notice about the restriction.

When to Use Your Form History

Here are a few scenarios where Form Revisions can save the day:

• Recover from accidental changes: If you or a team member mistakenly remove fields or modify settings, you can quickly undo those changes.
• A/B testing form layouts: Save different versions of your form and compare their performance before settling on the best one.
• Undoing changes after plugin updates: If an update affects your form’s functionality, you can revert to a working version in seconds.

WPForms’ Form Revisions provide a simple yet powerful way to track and restore changes to your forms. Whether you’re working solo or collaborating with a team, this tool guarantees you never lose important modifications.
