Roll back a podcast website release

Every publish creates a new immutable version. If a release contains a content, design, or integration problem, switch the active site back to a known release.

Release history and rollback apply to published Castee sites.

What it does

Website release rollback, without the vague promises.

Castee uploads releases to versioned paths and records which one is active. Rollback changes the active release rather than rebuilding or overwriting old files.

Rollback is a recovery tool, not a substitute for fixing the underlying content or configuration. After stabilizing the site, correct the issue and publish a new release.

01

Immutable releases

Keep a distinct file set for each successful publish.

02

Release history

Review available versions and their publish context before restoring one.

03

Active-version switch

Point the site back to a previous release without editing that release’s files.

How it works

From setup to public site.

Use the same controlled workflow whether you are starting your first website or maintaining an established show.

  1. 01

    Identify the problem

    Confirm the issue began with a particular release.

  2. 02

    Select a known version

    Choose the last release that had the correct public behavior.

  3. 03

    Restore, verify, and repair

    Roll back, test key pages, then prepare a corrected new release.

SEO impact

How this feature supports a searchable podcast site.

Castee handles repeatable technical work while you control the accuracy, usefulness, and editorial quality of the public content.

1

Recover bad metadata

Restore the last working version if a publish breaks titles, canonicals, navigation, or page output.

2

Verify old content

A rollback may reintroduce outdated copy, links, or structured data from that release.

3

Publish the real fix

Resolve the source issue and create a corrected release instead of remaining indefinitely on old content.
