Manage Snapshot Version History in GoHighLevel
If you are used to tools like ClickUp for tracking changes, you will appreciate how GoHighLevel handles snapshot version management. This guide walks you through using version history to safely update, restore, and organize your snapshots across accounts.
All instructions in this how-to article are based on the official documentation for snapshot version management in the GoHighLevel platform. You will learn how to view changes, restore previous states, and keep your client accounts stable when updating assets.
What Is Snapshot Version History in GoHighLevel?
Snapshot version history in GoHighLevel automatically records each time you publish a new version of a snapshot to a destination account. Every publish action creates a new version entry that you can review later.
With version history you can:
- See when a snapshot was published to a specific account.
- Review what changed between versions.
- Restore an older version of the snapshot into an account when needed.
This makes GoHighLevel safer and more predictable when rolling out updates across multiple client or sub-accounts.
Access Snapshot Version History in GoHighLevel
Follow these steps inside your GoHighLevel agency account to access snapshot version history for a specific destination account.
Step 1: Open the Snapshot Library in GoHighLevel
- Log in to your agency-level GoHighLevel dashboard.
- Navigate to the Snapshots or Library area where your snapshots are stored.
- Locate the snapshot you have published to one or more accounts.
This is the starting point for managing and reviewing version history for each snapshot.
Step 2: Choose the Destination Account
- Click on the snapshot to open its detail or management view.
- Look for the list of accounts where this snapshot has been installed or published.
- Select the specific destination account whose version history you want to review.
Snapshot version history in GoHighLevel is tied to a combination of the snapshot and the destination account. You must pick the correct account to see relevant changes.
Step 3: Open the Version History Panel
- Within the selected account row, locate the option labeled Version History, History, or a similar term (based on your GoHighLevel UI).
- Click this option to open the version history panel for that snapshot in the chosen account.
You will now see a timeline of all versions published from that snapshot to the destination account.
Understand GoHighLevel Snapshot Version Details
Inside the version history view, GoHighLevel displays a list of historical versions, each representing one publish event. Each entry generally includes:
- Version number or label – Identifies the order of publishes.
- Date and time – Shows exactly when the version was pushed.
- Published by – Indicates which user triggered the publish.
- Change summary – Brief notes or labels describing what changed (if available).
This information allows you to quickly decide which version you may want to restore if something in the latest publish caused issues for your client account.
Typical Use Cases for Version History in GoHighLevel
Version history becomes essential in several common scenarios:
- You publish a major funnel or workflow update that breaks an automation.
- A team member accidentally overwrites a working configuration.
- You need to compare how a snapshot looked before a recent change.
- You want to confirm who pushed a particular update and when.
By leveraging version history in GoHighLevel, you can quickly diagnose issues and roll back to a stable setup.
Restore a Previous Snapshot Version in GoHighLevel
When a new publish introduces problems, GoHighLevel allows you to restore an earlier version of the snapshot to the same destination account.
Step-by-Step: Restore an Older Version
- Open the Version History panel for the snapshot and destination account as described earlier.
- Scroll through the list of versions and identify the one you want to restore. Use the date, time, user, and notes to choose accurately.
- Click on the selected version to open its action menu or detailed view.
- Choose the option to Restore or Re-publish this version to the current account.
- Confirm the action when prompted. GoHighLevel will push the older version’s configuration back into the destination account.
After restoration, the previous environment configuration is reapplied, which can resolve issues introduced by newer changes.
Important Notes Before Restoring Versions
- Restoring a previous version may overwrite assets or settings changed by later publishes.
- Communicate with your team before restoring in shared GoHighLevel environments.
- Consider capturing a quick backup or exporting key data where possible before rolling back.
Best Practices for Snapshot Management in GoHighLevel
To get the most out of snapshot version history, follow these best practices in your GoHighLevel workflows.
Use Clear Version Labels and Notes
Whenever possible, record clear notes or labels when publishing snapshots. This helps you and your team quickly understand what changed in each version.
- Include a short description of the update.
- Mention key funnels, pipelines, or workflows affected.
- Reference related tickets or tasks from your project management tools.
Test in a Staging Account First
Before pushing large updates into live client accounts, use a test or staging account inside GoHighLevel.
- Publish the snapshot to the staging account first.
- Verify automations, forms, and funnels.
- Only publish into production accounts after testing is successful.
Align Team Processes Around Version History
Make snapshot version history part of your standard operating procedures when managing GoHighLevel accounts.
- Require team members to check history before making large changes.
- Use the recorded history to audit changes if issues arise.
- Track who is responsible for each publish event.
