The list displays the following information for each page:

Page History Column Description
Version #

Each time a user edits a page and Saves as Draft or Publishes the page, Content Manager saves a unique copy of the page and assigns it a two part version number, #.#. Content Manager increments the version number as follows:

First part increments each new day that a page is published.

Second part increments each time on any given day that the page is saved as a draft.

Therefore, the first day on which a page is published, the version numbers are: 0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and so forth. The next day on which the same page is published, the version numbers are: 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and so forth.

Item(s) Edited Lists the edited content areas on the page.
Date/Time Edited Specifies the date and time the page was saved.
Updated By Specifies the name of the user who updated the page.

From the Page History list, you can:

To return to Menus & Pages or to viewing this page in Site Editor, click Return to Site Editor or Return to Menus&Pages in the top right of the Page History list.

Rolling Back Versions

You can roll back a page to revert to a previous version of the content.

To roll back a page to an earlier version, follow these steps:

  2. Click Rollback to This Version.
  1. A confirm roll back dialog appears:
  2. Click OK.
Comparing Page Versions

If you want, you can compare the differences between two versions of the same page before you rollback.

When you compare versions of a page, Content Manager displays the differences in the pages only of any free-form text in each of the pages. The comparison does not show differences in the text in a pre-defined content item definition.

To compare versions of a page:

  1. Check the boxes next to the two page versions you want to compare.
  2. Click Compare Versions.

 

A Compare Pages pop-up appears where you can view the differences between the free-form texts in the pages. Optionally, you can roll back to one of the page versions used in the comparison.

  1. To roll back, click Roll back to This Version at the bottom of the screen. Content Manager displays a roll back confirmation dialog.
  2. Click OK. You should receive a success dialog box. Click OK. You will be returned to the Page History List.

Click the Cancel button in the upper right corner when you finish comparing versions of a page to return to the Page History list without rolling back.
