Sometimes you may need to go back to an earlier version of a page on your school website. Maybe content was accidentally deleted, or you prefer how the page looked before recent changes. Our content management platform keeps track of all versions of your pages, making it easy to restore any previous version.
When You Might Need This Feature
Content was accidentally removed or changed
Recent updates didn't turn out as expected
You want to revert to a layout that worked better
Multiple people edited a page and you need to go back to a specific version
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Access the Page History
Navigate to the page you want to restore. Once you're on the page, look for the Actions dropdown menu and click on "Publish History".
Step 2: Browse Available Versions
You'll see a list of all previous versions of your page. Each version shows when it was created and who made the changes. Click on the three-dot menu next to the version you want to restore, then select "View this version".
Step 3: Preview the Version
A pop-up window will appear showing you exactly how that version of the page will look. You can preview the page as it would appear on:
Desktop computers
Tablets
Mobile phones
This preview helps ensure you're selecting the right version before making any changes to your live website.
Step 4: Restore the Page
If you're satisfied with how the page looks in the preview, click the "Restore this version" button. The selected version will become your current live page.
Important Things to Remember
Restoring a page will replace your current version with the selected older version
Any changes made after the restored version will be lost
The restoration happens immediately once you click the restore button
You can always restore a different version later if needed
Tips for Success
Always preview the version before restoring to make sure it's exactly what you want
Check how the page looks on all device types (desktop, tablet, phone) before restoring
Consider making a note of what changes you're reverting so other team members understand why
This feature gives you confidence to experiment with your school website, knowing you can always return to a previous version if needed.
