Viewing the history of page changes

In the page history, you can always view previous versions of the Wiki page, compare them with each other, or restore any of them.

To view the history of Wiki page changes:

1. Open the Wiki page that you want to convert.

2. In the top right corner of the page, click Actions and select  Version history.

The version history includes two types of entries: saved page versions and drafts.

A draft is an unpublished page version, so only the author can see it. It's created automatically 5 seconds after you start editing the page. If you didn't save your changes, you can go back to the draft and keep working on it later. In the page history, you'll find the draft under the version of the page you were editing.

For more information about drafts, see Viewing and editing a draft page.

Viewing an older version of a page

Select an entry in the page history. The main window will display the selected version with a caption that says This is an outdated version of the page.

Comparing two versions of a page

Select the versions of the Wiki page you want to compare. The differing content fragments will display in the page text.

Editing an older version of the page

1. Select an entry in the page history. The main window will display the selected version with a caption that says This is an outdated version of the page.

2. Select Return to this version.

3. You can either edit the selected version or publish it as is — it will be saved as the current version of the page.

To edit a previously saved version of a page that has a draft, you must first delete the draft.

Viewing and editing a draft page
