When a bad deploy goes live,
move back fast
Broken route, missing asset, wrong copy, bad AI export. DeployPages keeps static releases versioned so recovery can be a rollback instead of a rebuild under pressure.
Rollback only works when the old build is still there
Overwrites turn mistakes into incidents
If every publish replaces the last one in place, a broken release forces the team to reconstruct the old state while visitors see the problem.
Versioned builds keep the exit open
Older static releases stay available, so rollback can restore a known-good version instead of relying on memory.
Rollback protects non-engineering launches too
Marketing pages, docs, portfolios, PDFs, and AI-generated exports fail in simple ways too. Rollback gives teams room to fix the issue without leaving the bad version live.
The old build is your emergency path
A stronger release workflow keeps prior builds available and changes the active version when rollback is needed.
The mistakes that actually happen
A broken static export
The build succeeded, but the exported files point to the wrong asset path or route.
A bad content update
A landing page, docs page, PDF, or portfolio update went live with the wrong copy or missing files.
A campaign that needs a quick revert
The team needs to move back first, then debug the launch without leaving the bad version in front of visitors.
Frequently asked questions
Q: How many historical versions should teams keep?
It depends on release frequency and risk tolerance. Teams that publish often should keep enough history to return to a recent known-good state.
Q: Does rollback touch the database?
Rollback in DeployPages is about static delivery state. If your product also depends on backend behavior, that still needs its own compatibility plan.
Q: Can I inspect or recover older builds?
That is the point of versioned static publishing: older builds stay available instead of disappearing after each release.
Start from the part every static site already has
Upload the built files, get a live HTTPS link, then add domains, rollback, analytics, automation, and team control when the project needs them.
