Introducing: Automated snapshots
The new automatic snapshots feature in SimpleLocalize ensures your translations are safe from accidental loss. SimpleLocalize now automatically creates snapshots of your project before significant changes, allowing you to restore your translations easily if something goes wrong.
How automatic snapshots work
Automatic snapshots are created before you perform any of the following actions:
- Importing translations
- Deleting a language
- Deleting a customer context
- Making extensive translations changes
- Clearing all translations
With automatic snapshots, you can quickly revert your project to a previous state if the changes you made are not as expected or if an error occurs. Think of it as a built-in backup for your translations.
You can view all the snapshots in the Activity tab in your project.
Restore from a snapshot
To restore your project from a snapshot, go the the Activity tab in your project. Locate the snapshot created before the change you want to revert and click the Preview snapshot button.
The snapshot summary will display the number of translations, languages, and customer contexts at the time it was created. You can also view the translation details in JSON format.
Click the Revert changes button to restore your project to the state saved in the snapshot.
Once restored, SimpleLocalize will log a new activity entry, detailing the snapshot restoration and the specific changes that were reverted.
How to enable automatic snapshots
Automatic snapshots are enabled by default for all projects. You don't need to configure anything to start using this feature. After making changes to your project, snapshots will automatically appear in the Activity tab.
To see snapshots in the Activity tab, make sure you select the action type Snapshots & Backups from the filter dropdown.
Protect your translations with automatic snapshots and never worry about losing your work again. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact us!
