Page history is one of the most powerful features of a wiki and TALK is no exception.
Each and every page that is created is tracked in the database. All changes that are made to pages are also tracked and stored. The upshot of this is that if you, or someone else, needs to revert back to a previous version of a page, you can do so at the click of a button.
It's an incredibly powerful feature.
You can use it to revert back to an old version of a page or to see what changes have been made and by whom.
To access the page history of a page
- Click on the Page History link in the sidebar or via the Page Information link in the Page Operations menu. You can read more about this on the Page Information page.
- You can now click on any of the versions of the page in the Version column of the table.
- When you view an old version you will be presented with the wiki view of the old page, with a warning:
- From the warning box, you can navigate through older and newer versions of the page. You can also view the differences between pages.
- If you want to restore this version, click on the Restore Version link. You'll have noticed that you can also do this on the main Page History page.
