Understanding Generation History

Every tent maintains a complete history of all generations. Each time you create a tent or make significant changes, a new generation is created. This allows you to explore different directions and return to a previous version if needed.

​
What is a Generation?

A generation is a complete snapshot of your tent at a specific point in time. There are three types of generations in Tented:
  • Initial Generation: The first version created from your original prompt
  • Iteration Generation: Updates made through chat-based editing
  • Reverted Generation: When you go back to a previous version
Each generation is comprehensive. It includes the complete HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code, along with all brand settings and uploaded assets. Every generation is tracked with a generation number and timestamp.

​
Viewing Generation History

The entire generation history for a tent is retained in the tent editor chat interface. You can open it at any time. To access the generation history for a tent:
  1. In the dashboard, select Tents from the sidebar.

Reverting to a Previous Generation

If you want to go back to a previous version of your tent, you can easily revert to any prior generation from the chat history. When you do this, rest assured that all form submission data from all generations is preserved, analytics remain intact, and any published URLs continue to work seamlessly, ensuring continuity regardless of the version you restore.

​
Step-by-Step Process

Follow these steps to revert to a previous generation:
  1. Browse through the generation history for the tent.
  2. Hover over the the confirmation message from Tented for the generation you want to revert to.
  3. Click on the generation number that appears.
  4. Confirm that you want to revert the tent.
The tent reverts to that generation. If the tent was already live on the web, you will need to republish it for the changes to become public. If you reverted by mistake, you can always revert again to the last generation or any other generation. All previous generations remain available in the history.
