Reverting a Content Item

When editing a content item, you can undo actions using the Undo functionality. However, once you have saved a content item, undoing particular editing actions is no longer possible. In cases where yo 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 complete state of a content item at a particular date and time in the past including content, its layout and its workflow status. If needed, you can revert a content item to a state in the past in order to begin anew from a specific point.

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

• Save
• Change workflow status
• Restore a previous revision
