Inspecting and reverting to previous file versions
The topmost file in the Revision List is the last checked in version of the file. For each version in the list, the Revision List shows the check-in date, the name of the user who checked it in, the path to the file on the server, and check-in comments (optional). You can open any file in the list, and if necessary revert to that file, which moves a copy of the file to the top of the list and makes it the most current version on the server.
To inspect the file revision history of a file:
- In the site window, select the file.
- Do one of the following:
- Click the Revision List button
on the Workgroup toolbar. - Choose Site > Revisions > Revision List.
- Select the file in the site window, and choose Revisions > Revision List from the context menu.
The Revision List dialog box displays all revisions of the file. Depending on whether you want to compare revisions or revert to a former file version, proceed as described in the following sections.
To revert to a former version in the file history:
- In the site window's Files tab, select the file you want to revert to a former version (the file must be checked in).
- Invoke the Revision List by either clicking the Revision List button in the Workgroup toolbar or selecting Site > Revisions > Revision List.
- In the Revision List dialog box, choose the file version you want to revert to. The date and comment information displayed next to each version helps you identify each version. If you need more information, you can open individual revisions. To look at a revision, select it in the list and click the Open button. The document opens in layout mode.
- When you find the file version you want to revert to, select it in the list, and click Make Current.
GoLive immediately reverts to the selected file version, which replaces the current server version. The file version you have reverted to appears at the top of the Revision list. The version that has been replaced is listed directly below.
