Every time you edit and save a help center article in Userorbit, a revision is created automatically. This guide covers how to view, compare, and restore previous versions of your articles.
Viewing revision history
Open the article in the editor.
Click the Revisions button or tab (typically in the top bar or sidebar of the editor).
You will see a list of saved revisions, each showing the date, time, and the team member who made the change.
Comparing revisions
Click any revision in the list to view a side-by-side comparison with the current published version. Changes are highlighted — additions, deletions, and modifications are visually marked so you can quickly see what changed.
Restoring a previous version
Select the revision you want to restore from the revision list.
Click Restore this version.
Userorbit creates a new draft with the content from that revision. This does not automatically publish — you must review and click Publish to make it live.
When to use version history
Reverting mistakes — If an update introduced incorrect information or formatting errors, restore a previous version.
Auditing changes — See who changed what and when, useful for team collaboration on documentation.
Seasonal content — If you update an article for a specific event or campaign and want to revert afterward, version history makes it easy.
Important notes
Revisions are created on save, not on every keystroke.
Restoring a revision creates a new draft — the currently published version remains live until you publish the restored draft.
Revisions are retained for the life of the article. If you delete the article, its revision history is also removed.
