What this guide covers

Use validation, saved-versus-live change warnings, JSON backups, and retained snapshots to operate campaigns safely.

01

Draft is not live

Cinch stores draft and active states. A schedule can make an active campaign display as scheduled or ended, but those are derived labels.

02

Back up or clone carefully

Export includes every campaign. Import creates new draft IDs, clears previews, and may require product references to be re-picked on another store.

03

Restore the right artifact

Three publish snapshots are retained. Campaign screens restore the previous version; Diagnostics can select another retained earlier publish. Draft edits remain available to publish later.
