Safety switches and rollback

Control assistant writes and recover the changes the plugin records.

Owner controls

  • Read-only: refuse writes.
  • Draft-only / auto-draft: control whether work can publish or starts as drafts.
  • Confirm-overwrite: require deliberate confirmation before full replacement of published content.
  • Protect design / enforce tokens: govern shared values and design discipline.
  • Site code, plugin, and user locks: restrict sensitive administrative actions.
  • Tool and connection controls: determine which clients can reach which capabilities.

Exact settings and permissions come from your own install. An assistant cannot loosen owner safety switches to make a refused write succeed. Use wp-admin for a deliberate owner decision.

Four recovery mechanisms

  • Fix Undo: reverse a recorded repair, subject to later-change checks.
  • Page revisions / undo slot: restore prior stored page content.
  • Design snapshots: restore recorded design-system values.
  • Pro rollback sessions: restore a recorded stretch of page and design work; later human changes can block restoration.

Choose the right recovery

Restore the smallest relevant change first. List revisions or sessions, compare what changed, and identify later edits before restoring. A design snapshot is not a full database backup, and a page revision does not necessarily capture every attachment, external service, or plugin table.

Updates and hardening

Pro provides tested-update and hardening controls, subject to owner locks and permissions. Plugin/theme update rollback differs from WordPress core update handling: core updates are reported rather than rolled back automatically. Run updates on staging with independent backups before trusting a production rollout.

Lock client pages

Pro can apply supported page/module locks and role restrictions. Coverage differs by builder. Read the plan and test access with the relevant client role before hand-off.

Example prompt

List the current safety restrictions and the rollback records for the last session. Show what restoring that session would change and identify later edits. Do not restore anything until I approve that specific plan.
