Restore your HubSpot theme in 3 easy steps

Just imagine: you're cleaning up the HubSpot themes available in your customer's account and you're deleting themes, renaming them... You'd think there'd be no consequences? And no, all the site's content is deleted.

Don't panic - it's happened to us too! That's why we've created a quick tutorial to help you restore and recover your content in just 3 steps.

Our tips for avoiding content loss

Enable automatic backups

To keep track of each modification and to be able to go back easily.

Go to HubSpot's Design Manager
Open the file or theme you're modifying
Before each major modification, click on "Actions > Clone" to duplicate the file or theme
You can also activate a regular backup via your GitHub environment

Our tips for avoiding content loss

Document customizations in GitHub

Centralize your personalization history to avoid losing information.

Create a dedicated documentation folder for each theme
Describe the modules created, the CSS/JS modifications, the files affected and the associated logic.
Archive old versions of modified files (in a /versions/ folder, for example).
Connect your GitHub repository to HubSpot for full versioning

Our tips for avoiding content loss

Set up a validation process

To avoid careless mistakes.

Define an internal process for validated deletion: Request > Verification of the file concerned > Reference validation > Effective deletion
Integrate this process into a management tool (for us, it's Notion)
Create a template for a deletion request (you can add the following elements to it: Name of file, justification, potential impact, link to a backup version)
Inform the team
