# Restore live

**Restore live** discards draft changes and reverts an item to its last published (live) version in Webflow.

## Restore the live version

#### Open the item

Click **OPEN** on an item that has draft changes or is in a non-published state you want to revert.

#### Open the action menu

Click the **⋮** button in the item sheet sidebar, next to the **Publish** button.

#### Click Restore live

Select **Restore live** from the menu.

#### Confirm

A dialog titled **Restore live version?** appears. Click **Restore live** to confirm, or cancel to keep your current draft.

## When to use Restore live

Use **Restore live** when you want to:

* Discard all draft edits and return to the last published version
* Undo a series of changes without resetting fields one at a time

## Restore live vs. reset field vs. reload

## Availability

**Restore live** appears in the ⋮ menu when the item has a published version to restore to. It is not available for items that have never been published.

## After restoring

The item status and field values reflect the restored live version. Changed-field highlights are cleared.
