View and Restore Prior Version Histories

When working with others on your team to create, update, and publish new content, it's important to have the ability to go back to see previous versions of content in case something needs to be recovered.  Here's how to view the previous versions for your content:

Pages

1. Go to the page you're interested in from your Butter dashboard.

2. Click on the ellipsis on the top right corner of your screen and choose History from the drop-down menu.

Note: When you click on previous versions from the right-hand side, the content fields and content within them will show up on the left-hand side.

3. View all previous versions for that page. In order for a version to show up in your history, it must have been "published."  If the page has never been published, then it will not show up here.  Here's an example version history from our Butter knowledge base page:

4. If you want to revert back to an older version, select the previous version that has the content fields and/or content that you are looking to restore, and then click the "Revert to this version" button. 

Collections

1. Go to the Collection from your Butter dashboard and then click on the Collection Item that you'd like to view.

2.  Click on the ellipsis on the top right corner of your screen and choose History from the drop-down menu.

3. Once you've clicked on that, you should see a list of when your items were edited and the content version right below it.
