Managing pages

Page versions

The History tab in the Page management panel contains listed versions of the current selected. Page. This will show information on whether the latest version of the page is being viewed, and options on the far left of the screen to show unpublished versions and compare current and previous versions. The page also can be reverted to a previous version by selecting that version, and clicking Revert to this version in the editing pane. When a page is rolled back to the previous version, it is only rolled back in the backend CMS as a draft. To show the rolled back page on the front-end website click Save and Publish.
