      User Problem

      Currently, it's possible to export a board/s in JSON / CSV format. While native import functionality does not currently exist, there are third-party Power-ups that facilitate importing.

      Currently, there isn't a way to restore a board to a previous version / state.

      As a Trello user, I want to be able to take backups my boards and be able to restore previous versions (revision history / snapshots) from the user interface.

      For example, if a user accidentally adds too many cards through an automated means or Power-up, being able to revert the board back to a state prior to the change saves a lot of manual work. Similarly, if someone makes changes maliciously - being able to revert the board within a few clicks would be useful.

      Suggested Solutions

      Take periodic snapshots of board/s , and provide a means to be able to restore previous versions from the board menu. Board Menu > Version History (for example)

      Current Workarounds

      Regularly manually export the boards to CSV format.

      Make use of third party Power-up to import back into Trello if needing to restore: https://trello.com/power-ups/search?q=import
