Website Blog History
Never lose important blog content again - browse and restore any previous version of your blog posts
The Problem
When multiple people work on the same blog post, content can get accidentally overwritten or deleted. Odoo's website builder saves changes immediately, with no built-in way to go back.
This module silently records every save - whether made from the website builder or the backend â and lets an admin browse the full version history and restore any previous revision with one click.
Key Features
Automatically records a revision every time a blog post is saved
Up to 500 revisions stored per blog post
Preview old content rendered with full website CSS - fonts, colours, layouts look exactly as visitors see them
Side-by-side diff comparison showing what was added or removed
Restore from the website builder top bar or the backend blog post form
Works on Community and Enterprise editions
Where to Find the History
From the Website Builder
While viewing any blog post in edit mode, click the top navigation bar and open the "This page" menu. You will see a "Restore History" option. This only appears when you are on a blog post page and have editor permissions.
Content Tab - Live Blog Post Preview
Click any revision in the list to see exactly how the blog post looked at that point in time. The preview loads inside a real iframe with your website's full CSS applied â fonts, colours, images and layouts appear just as visitors would have seen them.
Comparison Tab - See Exactly What Changed
Switch to the Comparison tab to see a diff between the selected revision and the current blog post. Text that was added is highlighted in green. Text that was removed is shown in red with strikethrough.
Restoring a Version
Step 1. Open the history dialog from the website builder top bar or the backend form.
Step 2. Click a revision in the list to preview it in the Content tab.
Step 3. When you find the version you want, click "Restore history".
Step 4. Confirm the prompt. The blog post content is replaced with the selected revision and the page reloads. The restore is itself recorded as a new revision, so it can be undone the same way.
Known Limitations
Comparison view styling for block-level changes: The diff comparison works by highlighting individual pieces of text that were added or removed. When an entire building block (such as an image, a banner, or a multi-column layout) is added or replaced, the comparison tab shows the underlying HTML structure rather than a fully rendered visual preview. This is a technical limitation of text-based diffing on content source code. To see how the old version actually looked, use the Content tab instead.
History starts from the first save after install: Revisions are only recorded after the module is installed. Saves made before installation are not available.
No Multi-language support: Each revision captures the content in the main language, you can only restore the original language, not the translated one.
Maximum 500 revisions per blog post: Older revisions are automatically dropped when the limit is reached.
