Page editing
Page versions
When you make changes to the blocks on a page in concrete5, those changes are saved as a new version when you leave edit mode. You can see all the versions of a page by clicking settings and then clicking Versions.
How to review/compare versions
- Left click the gear icon in the top left of the edit banner.
- Select Versions from the menu.
- This will load the list of versions for the page you are editing. The one highlighted in lighter blue is what is live for the public.
- Everything else in the list is a previous edit of the page.
- To compare versions, tick the boxes of each version you want to compare and the right hand side will tab each version to show you the two versions.
Roll back to a previous version
If you make a number of changes and publish a page but then need to remove those changes and put it back to a previous version, simply hover over the previous version of the page and click the small arrow.
This will display a menu with the following options:
- Approve – Makes that version of the page live to the public.
- Duplicate – Duplicates that version of the amends.
- New page – Allows you to create a new page based on this version of the page.
- Delete – Deletes the information stored within this version.
How far back can I go?
In order to keep your website database efficient we do not store all versions since the inception of the site but in general you will have the latest 10–20 versions of a page available to roll back to.
