When editing a content item, you can undo actions using the Undo functionality. However, once you have saved a content item, undoing specific editing actions is no longer possible. In cases where you need to revert a content item to a state in the past, use the XperienCentral revisions functionality. In XperienCentral, a revision is a copy of the state of a content item at a particular date and time in the past. When you restore an earlier revision of a content item, the following properties are restored:

...

Two crucial properties of the content item, however, are not retained from the restored revision: the publication state and workflow status. These two properties of a restored revision are always inherited from the latest revision. The most important reason for this is to prevent an unpublished/inactive content item from becoming published/active and vice versa as a result of the restore action.

The following actions trigger the creation of a new revision of a content item in XperienCentral:

  • Save
  • Change Saving a content item
  • Changing the workflow status Restore of a content item
  • Restoring a content item to a previous revision

Notes:

  • The revision functionality in XperienCentral is not enabled by default. See XperienCentral Revision Settings for complete information on configuring the settings for the revision functionality.

  • When the revision functionality is enabled, saving content items takes longer than it does when the revision functionality is disabled.

  • When the revisions functionality is disabled, XperienCentral nevertheless tracks the number of revisions that have been created for each times the content item has been modified since its crreation. For example, if you create and revise a content item 6 times and then turn on the revisions functionality and save the content item 2 more times, the numbering begins at 7 and you will see in the Revisions tab revision numbers 7 and 8, which can be reverted to.
