View page history

The Page History tool in Composer tracks who made what changes to a page and when, including the option to view a full version history and (with the right permissions) restore prior versions. Access it from the three-dot More Actions menu in the bottom-right of any page.

If you’re one of several admins working on your Composer site, it can be easy to lose track of who’s making what changes to certain pages. That’s where the Page History tool comes in. This article will help you understand the options available to you in the Page History tool.

Navigate to Page History icon

Click on the 3-dot vertical More Actions menu on the bottom-right of the Composer window.

• The Page History icon is the first option on the left

• The Page History Log will appear.
• Here you'll see the following:
  
  • a list of the most recent changes,
  • when they were made,
  • who made them,
  • and a brief description of the changes.

For example, in this screenshot, you can see that admin Paige Turner created a new page, updated it several times, published it twice, and restored it to the published version. She’s even left a note (see comment icon) to tell other admins about what changes were made.

Other options:

• Click on the comment icon on the right side to view the message left on publication.
• Click on the admin’s name to start writing an email to that admin
• Click on Open Full Page History to view the page’s history all the way back to its created date.

This allows you to see even more details in the Version History of a particular page. If you have the correct level of permissions, you may even see a blue button to the right with the label restore which allows you to restore pages.
