An HTML backup is like a snapshot of the guide. The HTML backup cannot be imported to restore deleted content, but it can help you recreate it.
It is recommended to create a backup before embarking on any major edits to a guide, as a way to safeguard against any unforeseen errors that result in loss of content.
1. In edit mode, select the Guide Information button (top right corner).
2. Under BACKUP / EXPORT, select Create HTML Backup.
The backup will automatically be generated and a confirmation message will appear.
3. Select the Download HTML Backup link to download it immediately.
A copy will also be available under Tools > Data Exports > Guide HTML.
Any time an HTML backup is created, whether following the steps above or when a guide is deleted, they will be archived under Tools > Data Exports > Guide HTML.
To view and download HTML backups that have been created:
1. Go to Tools > Data Exports from the command bar.
2. From the Guide HTML tab you can:
a. View any HTML backup by clicking the View Guide HTML (eye) icon in the Actions column. Tip: to download a copy, right-click on the icon and select Save link as... (aka Save target as...).
b. Sort the backups by Guide ID, Guide Name, or Friendly URL.
c. If the backup is from a deleted guide, the date of the deletion will be listed in the Deleted column.
d. If the backup is from a deleted guide, the account that deleted it will be displayed in the Deleted By column.
e. The date and time that the backup was made on will be listed in the Export Date column.
f. If multiple backups of a guide have been made, you can check the Display all available backups, not just the most recent backup for each Guide checkbox near the top of the page to see them all.
