Use version history to review earlier article content or restore a previous revision.

Plan required Help Center is available on Scale and Enterprise, during an active trial, or when Help Center access is enabled for the workspace.

Open history

Open the article, select Edit, then select Revision history in the editor header.

Compare

Review the revision timestamp, editor, title, and body before restoring. Copy any needed new information before replacing current content.

Restore

Select the intended revision and confirm restore. Restoration replaces the article’s title and body. It does not restore collection assignments or SEO fields, and it does not change the article’s publication status.

If the article is published, the restored title and body become its current published content. Review the revision before restoring, then open View Live to check the result. A draft remains a draft.

When to use it

Restore after an accidental edit or when a product rollback makes an earlier procedure correct again. Do not use history as a substitute for keeping plan and UI details current.
