Question

GrapesJS version

I confirm to use the latest version of GrapesJS

What browser are you using?

Chrome v128

Describe the bug

After adding a Page, removing it with undo and adding back with redo, the page is not working properly. The Layer Manager does not update when selecting the page. It also does not have the content it had before removing it and does not seem to have a body at all since it's not possible to add new components to that page. I noticed this behaviour in my local developement but since it's also happening in the studio version of grapesjs I submitted the link to the studio version for reproduction of this issue.

How to reproduce the bug?

Open the GrapesJs Studio Example
Add a page
Click Undo -> Page gets removed from list
Click Redo -> Page is added again
Click on the page that was added with redo to see behavior

What is the expected behavior? The page should be added with previous content and the content should still be editable after redo.

What is the current behavior? After adding the Page with Redo the page content is not editable, the layer manager does not update correctly when switching between the pages, the content of the page is lost.

Thanks for reporting this, @rhoenerSBS.

Great question about Redo of Pages not working properly. The recommended approach with UndoManager is to use the event-driven API.

Start here:

Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
Look for the on() event listener method
Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events

Common patterns:

// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));

// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));
