Overview

Every meaningful edit to a documentation page is saved automatically as a snapshot. Open a page’s history to see what changed, who changed it, and restore any earlier snapshot back into draft.

With page history, you can:
  • See a timeline of every snapshot for a page
  • See who made each change
  • Review exactly what changed, block by block
  • Spot which snapshot is currently published
  • Restore an earlier version of a page from a snapshot into draft

When a snapshot is created

You don't need to do anything. A new snapshot is created after about 9 minutes of active editing, and again a few minutes after you stop.

Alternatively, you can create a snapshot manually.

FAQ

Who can restore a snapshot?

Both Editor and Contributor roles can restore a snapshot.

No. Restoring loads the snapshot content into draft. You publish it the same way you’d publish any other change.
