Managing Page Versions

Use

Each time a wiki page is published, a new version of that page is created. There is therefore always a current published version and several archived versions.

Prerequisites

Each user having authorization to create wiki pages can edit versions of pages.

Procedure

Navigate to the page and in the Actions box, choose Manage versions.

You can perform the following activities when you manage versions:

  • You can compare two different versions of a wiki page. To do so, select both pages and choose Compare Checked. The differences between the two pages are highlighted (the new text is in green, and deleted text is in red).

  • You can restore versions that were already archived by choosing Restore this version. The archived version becomes the current version of the page. When a version is restored, it then creates a new version of the page and places the content of the restored version in the page. The versions superior to the restored versions are consequently kept.

  • You can also delete versions by choosing Delete this version. When a version is deleted, it is removed from the list of the versions.

  • You can view or edit the summary information about the changes that users have made in the wiki page by choosing View Change Summary.

  • You can view or edit the abstract information about the wiki page by choosing View Abstract.
