Version Control for Site Changes
Track what changed and when, so you can restore a previous version if an edit doesn’t land the way you expected. Version control features:- Complete change history — Every edit is tracked with timestamps and descriptions
- Detailed diff views — See exactly what changed in each edit
- Change metadata — Who made the change, when, and why
- Branch support — Work on multiple change sets simultaneously
- Commit-like workflow — Familiar version control concepts for WordPress
- Search and filter — Find specific changes quickly
- Export history — Download change logs for external records
Rollback and Undo
Revert individual changes (not just “restore everything”) so you can iterate safely without losing other progress. Rollback capabilities:- Selective undo — Revert specific changes while keeping others
- Granular rollback — Undo changes to individual sections or pages
- Preserve subsequent work — Roll back without losing later changes
- Rollback preview — See what will change before reverting
- Bulk operations — Revert multiple related changes at once
- Time-based rollback — Restore to a specific point in time
Example Workflow
- Make five changes to your homepage
- Discover change #3 caused an issue
- Roll back only change #3
- Changes #1, #2, #4, and #5 remain intact
Staging-Friendly Workflows
Make and validate changes on staging before pushing them to production — ideal for business-critical sites where mistakes cost money. Staging features include:- Staging environment sync — Keep staging aligned with production
- Change promotion — Push validated changes from staging to production
- Selective deployment — Promote specific changes, not everything
- Testing validation — Ensure changes work before going live
- Client approval — Let stakeholders review on staging
- Scheduled deployment — Push changes at optimal times
Staging workflows work with your existing hosting setup. Kintsu.ai doesn’t require a specific hosting provider or infrastructure.
Collaboration and Approvals (Beta)
Let stakeholders review proposed changes (marketing, product, agency, founder) and approve before anything goes live. Collaboration features include:- Review workflows — Route changes to appropriate reviewers
- Approval gates — Require sign-off before publishing
- Comment threads — Discuss changes with context
- Role-based permissions — Control who can propose vs. publish changes
- Notification system — Alert reviewers when input is needed
- Change annotations — Add notes and context to proposed edits

- Marketing teams — Review content changes before they go live
- Enterprise sites — Ensure compliance and brand consistency
- Multi-site management — Coordinate changes across multiple properties

A clear record of changes: what was edited, where, and why — so maintenance doesn’t become guesswork later. Audit trail captures:- Change descriptions — Natural language summaries of what changed
- User attribution — Who made each change
- Timestamps — Precise timing of all modifications
- Affected areas — Which pages, sections, or components were edited
- Reasoning — Why the change was made (if documented)

- External integrations — Track changes made via API or CI/CD
- Compliance — Demonstrate change control for regulated industries
- Troubleshooting — Identify what changed before an issue appeared
- Team handoffs — New team members can understand site history

- Long-term maintenance — Document the evolution of the site
API Integration
Audit trail data is available via API for integration with external tools and workflows.
