Reverting to an earlier version of a web page

September 24, 2009 by Support

How to revert changes to a web page.

There are two ways to revert to an earlier version of your page.

First:

From the page editing interface, click “load a previously saved version” in the page editing WYSIWYG toolbar. This will display a dropdown menu allowing you to select and preview previously entered content for the editable regions on the current page. Once you have selected the version you wish to revert to, simply click “Save Changes” and the old content will be restored.

This approach is suitable in most instances.

Second:

To completely revert the page to its state on a particular date (including any template changes outside of editable regions), return to the LiveWhale interface.

From the LiveWhale interface, click the “Pages” tab. (If the Pages tab does not appear, the administrator has not assigned page editing permissions to you.)

If the page you’re looking for is in a navigation, click its title to view the page details screen. Otherwise, click the “File Browser” submenu, navigate to the page’s directory, and then click the name of the page.

On the page details screen, click the “View revision history” link.

From the page history screen, use the date dropdown to find the version you wish to restore.

Once you’ve found the version you wish to restore, you may click “preview” to preview the page as it would look once restored. On the page history screen, the changes made on that date may also be displayed in green (newly added content) and red (removed content).

Once you’re ready to restore the page, click “revert to this copy”.
