Revision history
History lets you inspect earlier content and restore it. It does not replace deployment backups.
Inspect a revision
- Open an entry's actions in Content Manager and select History.
- Inspect the language, status, author, and saved content.
- Identify which revision is live before choosing an action.
Working and published revisions can differ. Check the language when comparing content.
Restore a draft
Use the history restore action on the desired revision. It creates a new working draft from historical content and preserves intervening history. Review the draft and follow the publication policy. Strict types require fresh approval; earlier approvals do not transfer.
Restore and publish
The available restore-and-publish action replaces live content for that language. In strict workflow, Emergency restore and publish is administrator-only and requires a reason.
Read the confirmation and check for newer work. After a conflict, reload history and workflow state before acting again.
For missing database records, lost media originals, or deployment failure, use restore and recovery.
