# Version control

Lightico enables you to restore previously published versions of [PDF templates](/v1/docs/getting-started-creating-esign-documents). In addition to published versions, you can also restore the most recently saved draft of the document.

## Saving and publishing documents

When you edit a PDF template, there are two ways to save your changes:

- **Save Draft** - saves your changes, but they are only visible to administrators
- **P****ublish**- saves your changes to the version that is available to the agents during a session

## Restoring a previous version

Restoring a previous version of a PDF template loads the version to the canvas without saving it as a draft and without publishing it.

**To restore a previous version of a PDF template:**

1. In the PDF template Builder, click **Save Draft** if you wish to save your current changes. Changes are saved to the **Last saved draft**.
2. In the history tab, click the version that you want to restore. You can select the last saved draft, currently published version, or a previously published version. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/Snag_346131f7.png)

The selected version is restored and appears on the canvas.
3. When you are ready to publish the restored version, click **Publish**.
