Theme deployments

See your theme's deployment history and roll back to a previous version if you need to

A theme deployment is a moment when a new version of your theme was applied to your site. Every theme update — whether it added new blocks, updated styles, fixed a bug, or changed settings — produces a deployment record. Together they form the history of your theme on this site.

What the deployment history shows

Each deployment record includes:

  • When the deployment happened.
  • Who deployed it (your theme developer, an automated build, or a Basker admin user).
  • What changed at the level the system can see — manifest differences, block changes, template changes, settings changes.
  • The previous theme version the deployment replaced.

The list reads as a reverse-chronological audit log of every theme update.

Rolling back

If a deployment caused an issue you can't immediately fix, roll back to the previous version. Open the deployment history, select the previous version, and confirm the rollback.

A rollback is itself a deployment — it produces a new entry in the history rather than removing the bad one. This means you have a full record of what happened, including the reverted update.

After a rollback, coordinate with your theme developer on the underlying fix. Roll forward to a new corrected deployment when it's ready.

When to roll back versus push a fix

  • Roll back when the issue is broad — visible site-wide, affecting many pages, blocking visitors. Safety comes first.
  • Push a fix when the issue is narrow and fixable within a short window. A quick patch is preferable to a rollback that pulls back unrelated improvements with it.

Speak to your theme developer if you're unsure.
