Checkpoint & backup
Admin → Checkpoint / backup opens one dialog with two jobs: fast in-chrome checkpoints, and full SitePack ZIP for off-host copies.
Checkpoint (rolling slots)
| -- | -- |
| Scope | Database + dropbits-user.css only |
| Retention | Last 3 slots |
| Uploads / themes / secrets | Not included |
| Actions | Take checkpoint · Restore on a slot |
Restoring a checkpoint replaces the database and user CSS, then reloads the page. It does not apply a newer Assistant Undo slot.
Use checkpoints before risky LLM batches or large layout experiments.
Assistant Undo (chat)
Inside LLM chat, Undo / session safety rolls back the last tool batch (same DB + user CSS scope as checkpoints, different UI).
| Checkpoint slot | Assistant Undo | |
| -- | ----------------- | ---------------- |
| Where | Admin → Checkpoint / backup (and Safety in chat for capture) | LLM chat |
| Mental model | Named rolling restore points | “Undo what the assistant just did” |
| Cross-apply? | Restoring a checkpoint does not replay Undo | Undo does not replace managing ZIP backups |
SitePack ZIP
| -- | -- |
| Download backup | Full off-host archive (DB, themes, uploads, secrets) |
| Restore from file | Upload a .zip SitePack |
ZIP is for moving or disaster recovery — not the primary “snapshot before I edit” path. Prefer checkpoints for that.
