How to Verify a SEATEXT AI Rollback on Squarespace

A successful SEATEXT AI rollback on Squarespace means the JavaScript snippet is still present in Code Injection, the SEATEXT dashboard shows your site connected, and the content versions in the Variants Editor reflect the...

Quick verification checklist

After you trigger a rollback in the SEATEXT dashboard, do these three checks in order:

  1. Open your Squarespace dashboard → Settings → Developer Tools → Code Injection. The SEATEXT JavaScript snippet should still be in the Header field.
  2. Log in to your SEATEXT account. The site name must appear next to the SEATEXT logo at the top of the page within five minutes.
  3. In the SEATEXT left panel, open Variants Edit. Select the URL and language you rolled back. The variant list should show the version you restored, not the newer experimental variants.

If all three match, the rollback succeeded. If any check fails, see the troubleshooting section below.

Prerequisites before you verify

  • You have admin access to the Squarespace site and the SEATEXT account linked to that domain.
  • The SEATEXT snippet was installed via Squarespace Code Injection (Header area) as described in the integration guide.
  • You have previously activated at least one AI agent (translation, CRO, or other) so that variant history exists.

Step-by-step verification process

1. Confirm the snippet is still in Squarespace Code Injection

Go to Settings → Developer Tools → Code Injection. The Header box must contain the exact SEATEXTCODEINTEGRATION JavaScript snippet. A rollback does not remove the snippet; it only changes which variant set the script serves. If the snippet is missing, re-paste it and save, then wait five minutes for the dashboard to reconnect.

2. Verify the site connection in the SEATEXT dashboard

Open the SEATEXT Main AI Hub. The top-left corner shows the SEATEXT logo with your website name beside it. The integration guide states: "Wait at least five minutes until you see your website name displayed next to the SEATEXT logo at the top of this page. This indicates that your website is connected and ready to proceed." If the name does not appear after ten minutes, contact support.

3. Check the variant history in Variants Edit

In the SEATEXT left navigation, click Variants Edit. Choose the URL and language you rolled back. The interface lists each variant with a timestamp and status. The variant marked "Active" or "Winner" should be the one you restored. Newer test variants should be present but inactive.

4. Spot-check a live page

Visit the rolled-back page in an incognito browser window. Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds — the integration guide notes this activates the AI and links it to your account. The visible copy, headlines, and CTAs should match the restored variant. If you see the newer test copy, the rollback did not propagate; repeat step 3 and ensure the correct variant is set active.

Understanding SEATEXT content versions

SEATEXT stores every AI-generated rewrite as a content version (also called a variant). The dashboard's Variants Editor lets you view, edit, and promote versions. A rollback simply marks an older version as the active one. The JavaScript snippet on your Squarespace site never changes; it always pulls the currently active variant from SEATEXT's servers.

Key points from the documentation:

  • Seatext content versions and Seatext content sitemap are listed in the integration pages, confirming version tracking exists.
  • The Variants Editor (mentioned in the FAQ) is where you manage these versions.
  • Each variant carries a timestamp, confidence score, and conversion data when available.

Common verification mistakes

  • Checking only the Squarespace preview. The preview may show cached content. Always use an incognito window or clear cache.
  • Assuming the snippet disappeared. Rollbacks never touch the Code Injection snippet. If the snippet is gone, someone removed it manually.
  • Not waiting the full five minutes. The dashboard connection check requires up to ten minutes after a fresh install or re-save.
  • Looking at the wrong language or URL in Variants Edit. Each language/URL combination has its own variant list.

When verification fails — troubleshooting

  1. Snippet missing from Code Injection → Re-paste the exact snippet from your SEATEXT account, save, publish the site, wait ten minutes, then re-check dashboard connection.
  2. Dashboard shows "Not connected" after ten minutes → Ensure the domain in SEATEXT matches the live Squarespace domain (no localhost, no dynamic dev domains). Contact support if it persists.
  3. Variants Edit shows the correct active variant but live page shows new copy → Clear Squarespace cache (Settings → Advanced → Clear Cache), clear browser cache, test incognito. If still wrong, deactivate and reactivate the relevant AI agent in the Main AI Hub.
  4. Multiple domains in one account → The integration guide states: "Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL." Create a separate account for each domain.

Limitations

  • This verification process applies only to Squarespace sites using the Code Injection installation method. Other platforms (WordPress, BigCommerce, Shopify) use different snippet placement.
  • SEATEXT does not expose a dedicated "rollback log" in the dashboard; verification relies on variant status in Variants Edit and live page inspection.
  • If you use Squarespace's built-in AI content tools alongside SEATEXT, the two systems operate independently. This guide covers SEATEXT only.
  • Enterprise accounts with multi-site dashboards may show all connected sites; ensure you are viewing the correct site row.

FAQ

How long does a rollback take to appear on the live site?

Usually immediate once the variant is marked active in Variants Edit. Allow up to five minutes for the CDN to propagate, then test in incognito.

Can I roll back a single page instead of the whole site?

Yes. In Variants Edit, select the specific URL and language, then set the desired variant active for that page only.

What if I accidentally deleted the snippet from Code Injection?

Copy the snippet from your SEATEXT account (Main AI Hub → Installation), paste it back into the Header field, save, publish, and wait for the dashboard to reconnect.

Does a rollback delete the newer test variants?

No. All variants remain in the history. You can re-activate a newer variant later if needed.

Why does the dashboard still show the new variant as "Winner" after rollback?

The "Winner" label reflects statistical confidence from past A/B tests. Manually setting an older variant active overrides the winner for serving, but the label stays until a new test completes.

Can I automate rollback verification?

Not via SEATEXT's current UI. You would need to script checks against the SEATEXT API (if available) and your Squarespace page content.

What should I do if the site name never appears next to the logo?

Confirm the domain in SEATEXT exactly matches the live Squarespace domain (including www vs non-www). Ensure the snippet is in the Header, not Footer. If still missing after ten minutes, contact SEATEXT support with your account email and domain.
