    You might be able to ask support to send you a backup, but that shouldn't be necessary. 

    Every time you click save in studio, the change is recorded in the Versions tab in Studio (this is backed by version control). If you ever make a mistake, you can revert to a previous version when it was working.

    You could also create a new skin, and set the custom skin as the parent skin, so changes you make would only apply to the new skin. I wouldn't consider this best practice (the more changes you make the harder it becomes to manage the different styles in the two skins), but it is an option.

Thank you MattV  for the response. I am creating a new skin for this.

1)How can we know what is the skin currently in use?

2)How to switch to newly created skin for community? Do we have any settings.

Thanks,
