Who can do this
Workspaces with FunnelCreative Commercial, with or without the Pro upgrade. The owner, admins and members can publish changes, roll back and take a funnel down. Viewers see the status but no buttons.
Taking a funnel down is always allowed, whatever your plan.
Before you start
Open the funnel and choose the Launch setup tab. The top of the tab, What visitors see, shows what is live right now.
Publish your changes
The live page never changes while you edit. Your edits are saved as new versions of the funnel, but visitors keep seeing the version you published until you publish again.
- Make your changes in the editor.
- Open Launch setup and clear any new items in the launch checks. See Publish your funnel.
- Click Publish changes · version N.
- The dialog Publish version N? tells you which live version this replaces. Click Publish version N to confirm.
When it's done, the new version is live and the version it replaced moves to Published versions as an Earlier release.
While the version you're looking at is already live, there is no publish button. Instead you see Version N is what visitors see. Edit the page to publish a new version.
Changes to a Pro brand kit, or to the Made with FunnelCreative badge, work the same way: the live page shows them only from your next publish. See Brand kits, the badge and presets (Pro).
Roll back to an earlier version
Every version you have published is kept. Published versions lists the most recent ones, newest first. The one visitors see is marked Live now. The others are marked Earlier release, with the date they were published.
- Under Published versions, find the version you want.
- Click Roll back to version N.
- The dialog Roll back to version N? explains that nothing is deleted and every lead stays in your inbox. Confirm with Roll back to version N.
- You'll see Version N is live again.
Rolling back is quick, because every published version is kept exactly as it was. Rolling back doesn't change what you're editing: your latest version stays in the editor, and you can publish it again at any time.
The list says Leads from every version stay in your inbox. Each lead records the version it came from.
If a version's stored files are no longer complete, you see That version can’t be restored and Its published files are no longer complete. Nothing was changed.
Forms on older versions keep working for a while
When a newer version goes live, or you roll back, someone may still have the old page open. Forms on the replaced version keep accepting enquiries for 24 hours, as long as the funnel is still live. Those leads arrive in your inbox with the older version number.
After that, or once the funnel is taken down, the old form answers “This form is no longer accepting enquiries.”
Take a funnel down
- In Launch setup, click Unpublish.
- The dialog Take this funnel down? explains what happens. Confirm with Unpublish.
- The status shows Taking down and Waiting for the server to confirm the page is down.
- Then you see Your funnel is down. Visitors to its address now get “not found”. Your leads are kept.
After you take a funnel down:
- Visitors to its address get a plain “Not found” page, and its form stops accepting enquiries.
- The address stays reserved for this funnel. Nobody else can take it.
- Every version is kept. The version that was live moves to Published versions as an Earlier release, so you can put it back with Roll back to version N, or publish your latest version again.
- Every lead stays in your inbox.
- The status reads Unpublished, and What visitors see says Nothing is live. Earlier versions are kept below.
- The funnel no longer counts towards how many funnels your workspace can have live.
What happens next
- Publish, roll back and take down each change what visitors see on their next visit. Nothing is half-live: if something fails, the version that was live stays live.
- Leads and analytics keep every version apart. See Your lead inbox and CSV export and Analytics: views and submissions.
Limits
- Only the latest saved version can be published. Earlier versions can only be put back with Roll back to version N.
- If nothing is live when you roll back, the funnel needs room in your live-funnel allowance: the Live funnels figure on your Plan card (Settings → Brand & presets → Plan).
- Forms on a replaced version accept enquiries for 24 hours.
- While a workspace deletion is pending, you can't publish or roll back. You can still take funnels down.
If something goes wrong
This funnel changed after you reviewed it
Someone saved a newer version between your review and your click. You see This funnel changed after you reviewed it, and a message that nothing was published. Click Review the latest version, check the launch checks again, then publish.
Someone else changed what’s live
A teammate, or you in another tab, published, rolled back or took the funnel down at the same moment. You see Someone else changed what’s live and This funnel was published, rolled back or taken down in another tab or by a teammate. Nothing was changed by this request. Check what’s live now, then try again. Click Check what’s live to refresh, then decide again.
Fix these before publishing
A launch check failed on the server. You see Fix these before publishing and Nothing was published., with the items to fix. See Publish your funnel.
This workspace is scheduled for deletion
While a workspace deletion is pending, nothing in it can go live. The deletion request takes every live page down, and every form in the workspace answers “This form is no longer accepting enquiries.” until the deletion is cancelled. Publishing and rolling back are refused with This workspace is scheduled for deletion. The owner can cancel the deletion in Settings → Account & data. Cancelling doesn't put any funnel back live: publish each one again yourself. See Export your data, delete leads on request, close your account.
Anything else: see Troubleshooting.
