Creating and Reverting to a Previous Page Version

When making changes to a page, it is a good idea to create a restoration point in case things do not go as planned. This is done by creating a page version.

As a part of our SOI Request for Activation Workflow process, a version of your page is automatically created when the workflow process occurs; giving users a version for every page version they have ever pushed live.

Creating a Page Version

Hard select the page that you want to create a version of and Navigate to Create > Version.

Add the proper "Label/Comment" and click on Create.

Reverting to a Previous Page Version

Within AEM Sites, ensure the view is in "Timeline" mode instead of "Content Only".

Hard-select the page you want to view the Timeline for.

Click on the version that you want to restore and Select Revert to this Version.

*Note: You may also Preview the version selected for a given page. In Sites, Pages also have a "Compare to Current" button to pull up a side-by-side view of the current version of your page alongside the version you want to revert to for preview purposes.

Timeline will show "Page restored" to confirm you have reverted to the previous version.
