Reset a changed field

Revert a single field to its live or primary locale value
View as Markdown

When you edit a field on a previously published item, Wicked CMS compares your changes to the live (published) version. Changed fields are highlighted so you can spot differences and reset individual fields if needed.

Reset a changed field

Identify changed fields

Fields that differ from the live version show a blue highlight on the field label. Hover over the label to see the tooltip:

Option-click or Alt-click to reset to the live value.

Reset one field

1

Find a changed field

Look for fields with the blue label highlight in the item detail sheet.

2

Option-click or Alt-click the label

On Mac, hold Option and click the field label. On Windows/Linux, hold Alt and click the label.

3

Field reverts

The field value resets to the last published (live) value. The blue highlight is removed for that field.

What reset does

Resetting a field restores only that field to its live published value. Other edited fields are unaffected. Reset does not save or publish — it updates the draft in your current editing session.

There is no Reset all fields button. Reset works one field at a time using Option-click or Alt-click on each changed field label.

Reset a field to the primary locale value

On multi-locale sites, when you edit an item in a non-primary locale, each field label shows a locale badge (e.g., fr-fr) on the right side. If the field’s value differs from the primary locale, the badge highlights in blue.

1

Find a field that differs from the primary locale

Look for the blue locale badge on the right side of the field label.

2

Option-click or Alt-click the locale badge

On Mac, hold Option and click the badge. On Windows/Linux, hold Alt and click. You can also click the Reset (↩) button next to the badge.

Field reverts

The field value resets to the primary locale’s value. The blue highlight is removed from the badge.

Live diff and locale diff are independent. A field can show both a blue field label (differs from live) and a blue locale badge (differs from primary locale) at the same time. Each has its own reset control.

Reset vs. Reload from Webflow

ActionScopeHow
Reset fieldSingle field to live valueOption/Alt-click the field label
Reset to primary localeSingle field to primary locale valueOption/Alt-click the locale badge
Reload from WebflowEntire item⋮ menu → Reload from Webflow

Use field reset when you want to undo changes to one field. Use Reload an item from Webflow to discard all local edits and reload the full item from Webflow.

Restore live (published version)

To revert the entire item to its last published state (not just individual fields), use Restore live from the item ⋮ menu. See Restore live.

Next step

After resetting fields, click Save to persist the reverted values, or Publish if you want to update the live site.
