uRestore

Selectively restore individual property values from any saved content version — directly inside the Umbraco backoffice.

uRestore adds a Property Restore tab to every content node workspace. From that tab, editors can browse the full version history, compare any saved version against the current draft property-by-property, and choose exactly which values to restore — without affecting the properties they want to keep.

Features

• Version history panel — lists all saved versions of the current content node with date and status (draft / published / saved)
• Property-level comparison — side-by-side diff of the current draft value and the value from any selected version, with inline change highlighting
• Selective restore — choose exactly which properties to restore; all others remain unchanged
• Smart pre-selection — properties that differ from the current draft are automatically pre-selected
• Culture-aware — filter the comparison by language variant for multilingual sites
• Non-destructive — restored values are saved as a new draft and never auto-published
• Save & Publish shortcut — optionally publish immediately after restoring from the confirmation dialog
• Native UI — built with Umbraco UI Library components so it looks and feels like part of the backoffice

What it doesn't do

• It does not replace the built-in rollback feature on the Info tab — it complements it
• It does not publish restored content automatically; editors retain full control
• It does not handle block-level partial restores within complex property editors (e.g. Block List, Block Grid) — the entire property value is restored as a whole
• It does not support restoring media or member properties

Requirements

• Umbraco 17+
• .NET 10+

Installation

dotnet add package Umbraco.Community.uRestore

No configuration is required. After installing the package and restarting your site, a Property Restore tab will appear in the content editor for all document types.

Usage

1. Open any content node in the backoffice
2. Click the Property Restore tab (alongside Content, Info, etc.)
3. The tab lists all saved versions — click Compare on any version
4. Review the property-by-property diff; changed properties are pre-selected
5. Deselect any properties you want to keep at their current value
6. Click Restore selected — a confirmation dialog appears with Save as draft or Save & Publish options
7. Review and publish the draft as normal when ready
