Who hasn’t experienced that dread: an unfortunate edit, an unexpected crash, and hours of work lost. WebAcappella Fusion eliminates this risk with two new complementary features: snapshots and atomic cloud protection.
Snapshots
Snapshots are instant captures of your project’s complete state at a given moment. Before making a major change—a design overhaul, page reorganization, or major store update—create a snapshot in seconds.
If something goes wrong, you can restore the exact state of the snapshot with a single click. No data loss, no complicated steps. It’s the equivalent of Ctrl+Z, but for your entire project.
- Open your project in WebAcappella Fusion
- Go to Project > Create a restore point
- Give it a descriptive name (e.g., “Before header redesign”)
- Work on your changes with peace of mind
- If needed: Project > Restore Points > select the snapshot > Restore
You can keep multiple snapshots at the same time, each with a name and a date. This is especially useful when you’re experimenting with different versions of a design or when you’re preparing a gradual redesign of your site.
Real-world use cases
Restore points are useful in many everyday situations. Here are the most common scenarios where a snapshot will save you a lot of trouble:
- Before a visual redesign: you want to modernize your site’s design, change the colors, reorganize the menu, or redesign the homepage. Create a snapshot before you begin. If the new design doesn’t suit you, restore the previous state with a single click rather than redoing everything manually
- Before a major store update: adding new products in bulk, modifying categories, changing prices—a snapshot protects you from errors in your catalog
- Cross-device collaboration: You’re working on your site from your desktop and laptop via a shared cloud folder. Snapshots serve as reliable reference points. If a sync causes a conflict, you can revert to the last stable snapshot
- Design experimentation: test a new layout, a new menu style, or a redesign of your product page. The snapshot gives you the freedom to experiment risk-free—you know the previous state is always recoverable
- Before a technical intervention: software updates, hosting migrations, domain name changes—any event that might require rolling back deserves a snapshot beforehand
Atomic Cloud Protection
More and more users are storing their WebAcappella projects on cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud. This is convenient for syncing across multiple devices, but it introduces a risk: if synchronization occurs during saving, project files can become corrupted.
The new atomic write feature eliminates this risk. Backups are written securely: the entire file is first prepared, then written in a single operation. If an interruption occurs during the save—such as a network outage or cloud synchronization—your project remains intact in its previous state.
Combine both features: store your project in the cloud to sync across your devices (desktop and laptop, for example), and create snapshots before every major change so you can revert if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many snapshots can I keep?
There is no limit imposed by the software. Each snapshot takes up disk space proportional to the size of your project. In practice, keeping 3 to 5 recent snapshots is a good balance between security and disk space. You can delete old snapshots at any time to free up space.
Does atomic protection slow down saving?
No. Atomic writing is designed to be transparent in terms of performance. The file is first prepared in memory, then written to disk in a single operation. The time difference compared to a conventional write is imperceptible, even on large projects.
Can I restore a snapshot on another machine?
Yes. Snapshots are stored with your project. If your project is synced via a cloud service (Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud), the snapshots are also synced. You can restore a snapshot created on your desktop directly from your laptop, and vice versa.
Peace of mind
These two features transform the way you work with WebAcappella Fusion. You can experiment freely—test a new design, reorganize your pages, modify your store—knowing that you can always revert to a previous state. It’s the safety net every website creator deserves.
