WEBSITE CUSTOMIZATION BACKUPS · Workflow idea

Keep a clear history of the custom details on your website.

Save dated copies of a site’s custom header and footer additions when requested or at a chosen interval. Keep each site’s records organized and access restricted, check that a saved copy matches the intended site, and let an authorized owner review any change or restoration before it affects the live website.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

Custom header and footer additions from a site the requester is authorized to manage

“Preserve a dated copy of website customizations and make changes or restoration subject to the site owner’s review.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps website owners preserve custom site additions and understand what was previously in place before making changes.

  1. Identify the site and its owner

    Confirm the correct website and verify that the requester is authorized to manage its custom additions.

  2. Save a dated copy of header and footer additions

    Keep the site’s custom content together with its capture date so a maintainer can compare versions.

  3. Check the archive for sensitive details

    Have an approved maintainer look for credentials, private tracking information, or content that should be removed from the archive.

  4. Compare a proposed change with the saved version

    Make additions, removals, and differences clear while retaining the previous version for reference.

  5. Approve any live-site change

    Require the site owner to verify and approve the exact content and target before a change or restoration is applied.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

An organized, dated record of a site’s custom additions, ready for comparison or a reviewed recovery decision.

The handoff

An organized, dated record of a site’s custom additions, ready for comparison or a reviewed recovery decision.

Keep in mind

Website additions can include private keys, tracking details, or other information that should not be broadly shared. Restrict access to the site owner and approved maintainers, review saved content for secrets, and require an authorized person to confirm the site and exact version before restoring anything to a live website.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose websites and authorized maintainers

List the sites in scope and identify the owners allowed to request and review backups.

Set backup frequency and archive organization

Choose when copies are saved and how versions are separated by site and date.

Define sensitive-content handling

Set who checks saved additions for secrets and where approved copies may be stored.

Test comparison and recovery review

Confirm that a saved version is readable and that no live-site change occurs before owner approval.
