Revisions: See History And Restore
Goal: Read a page's history and restore an earlier state.
Time: 3 minutes
You need: A page that has been edited at least once
Steps
- Open the page and select Revision History.
- Read the summary at the top: the site, the current workflow state, and how many revisions exist.
- Work down the list, newest first. Each row tells you when, what changed, and who did it — with the source (Admin or API) and the event type.
- Found the state you want back? Select Restore on that row.
- Check the page afterwards. Restoring is itself a change, so it appears at the top of the history — which means you can undo the undo.
What Gets Recorded
Revisions are captured automatically. You will see entries for page creation, content and block changes, translation and slot edits, and every workflow move — including draft to in_review and back.
The Audit column names the person and the source. An edit made through the Internal Content API says so, which is how you tell a colleague's work from a tool's.
Notes
- This is page-level history, not a backup. It restores content on one page. It does not replace system backups or site export packages.
- Shared Slots have their own separate history. Restoring a page does not touch the header it renders.
- Restoring does not publish. A restored published page stays published; a restored draft stays a draft.
- The history grows with every edit, so scan the Revision column rather than the timestamps.
