How do I undo a change Emtor made?
Each change Emtor records is listed with an undo. Undo takes out what Emtor added, or puts back the description it replaced, and leaves alone anything changed since.
Each change Emtor records is listed with when it was made: under What Emtor changed on Emtor's home page and the Fixes page, and under Changes Emtor made on the Proof page. It can be undone for 30 days while it's still as Emtor left it.
What undo does
- A policy sentence. Undo takes out the paragraph Emtor added. The rest of your policy stays as it is, including anything you changed elsewhere in it.
- A category, alt text, an SEO description or a product type. Undo empties the field again, as it was before the fix: Emtor only fills fields that are empty.
- A product description. Undo puts back the description Emtor's draft replaced.
- A fix for the whole catalog. One Undo puts back every product of the batch, in the background, and leaves the ones changed since as they are. The Products tab of the Fixes page shows how many it put back and how many it left.
Like every fix, an undo counts as done only once Shopify has saved it.
When undo isn't offered
If what a fix wrote has changed since, whether you changed it or Shopify did, the fix shows as Changed since, and Emtor doesn't offer to undo it: that would overwrite a later edit. Change it in Shopify yourself instead. A fix that a newer one took the place of shows as Replaced.
If Emtor couldn't record a change, or Shopify saved a policy sentence in a way that can't be taken out on its own, Emtor says so right after the fix. That change isn't in the list and has no undo there: change it in Shopify instead.
After the 30 days
The change stays in your store, and the list no longer shows it. You can still edit or remove it in Shopify yourself.
If you uninstall
Uninstalling doesn't undo anything: Emtor's changes are part of your policies and products. If you want them gone, undo them before you uninstall. Emtor keeps its list of changes until Shopify asks it to erase your store's data, 48 hours after you uninstall, so if you reinstall before then, you can still undo them. What uninstalling deletes
