Feature Purpose:

The Site History feature in ExpoPlatform allows users to manage and track changes made to their event sites. It provides a chronological list of changes, showing who made each update and when. You can view version details, restore a previous version if needed, or delete older versions to keep your workspace organized.

This feature is especially useful for rolling back mistakes or reviewing past edits during the website-building process.This functionality is crucial for:

• Version Control: Keeping a record of all changes allows users to monitor the evolution of their site.

• Restoration: Easily revert to previous versions if recent changes lead to issues or if there's a need to return to a prior state.

• Collaboration: Multiple team members can work on the site, with the assurance that changes are tracked and reversible.
