Restoring an earlier version
Published something and want the old text back after all? The CMS saves every time you publish. You restore an earlier version as a draft, check it and publish again.
Where do you find the history?
- Page: go to Pages, click the cog next to the page (Page settings) and open the Info tab on the right (under Versions).
- Post, product, vacancy or other item: open the item and choose the last tab, Info. At the top you see the status and when and by whom it was last changed, with the versions below.
- Header and footer: Settings → Website settings → Info tab.
Restoring a version
- The list shows every publication with date, time and who did it. The version that is on your website now has the label Online now.
- Click View to see what changed at that time (before and after).
- Next to the version you want back, click Restore. That version becomes the new draft; your website doesn't change yet.
- Check the draft and click Publish at the top right.
Regret restoring? Simply restore the version marked Online now, or use Restore in the Publish screen.
After a new design
For pages and the header and footer, the history also shows when a new design went live. Versions from before that moment belong to the previous design and can't be restored: the fields are different. Changes you made after the new design can be restored.
What does the CMS keep?
In Info (for pages: Page settings → Info) you see the last 30 publications for each page and each item. Deleted posts, products and other items stay in the trash for 30 days; see Getting something back from the trash.
