Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureProduct History keeps a history of your products automatically. Whenever a title, description, price, SEO text, tag or other key field changes, a new version is saved with a short summary of what changed.
Shopify keeps no version history for your products. When an app, an import or a mistake rewrites a description, the original is gone: the activity log says something changed, never what it said. PriorCopy backs up your store nightly and shows the difference word by word, so you can read the previous copy and put it back. Products, collections, pages, blog posts, menus, redirects and metaobjects restore.
- Automatic version history for product details, variants, SEO and tags
- Side-by-side and unified diffs with changed words highlighted
- Safe restore: preview changes and choose exactly which fields to restore
- Word-by-word diff of your product copy, not just “something changed”
- Restore in place, so Shopify IDs survive and nothing downstream breaks
- Every re-created record comes with a remap table naming what to repoint
