# Buildy changed things I did not ask for

If a change touched more than you wanted, go back to the version before it. Open **Checkpoint History**, restore the earlier checkpoint, and ask again. Restoring costs no credits.

## Steps

1. Click **Checkpoint History** at the top of the chat.
2. Find the checkpoint saved just before the change and click **Restore**.
3. Check **Preview**.
4. Ask again, and say which page and what to change: "On the home page, change the heading to 'Fresh bread daily'."

## Prevent it

- Say which page and what to change. See [Get what you want from Buildy](/docs/build/get-what-you-want).
- Use the [Visual Editor](/docs/build/visual-editor) for text and color changes. It only touches what you click.

## Common problems

### The restore brought back an old bug too

Restore to the checkpoint you want, then ask Buildy to fix only that bug.
