View a Wiki Page's History and Compare Versions

Each time you save a wiki page, VB Studio creates a version of it.

You can view the contents of a previous version of a wiki page, compare any two versions, restore the wiki page to a particular version, or delete a particular version:

Action How To

View the history of a wiki page, including all of its versions

  1. Open the wiki page.

  2. Click the Page History tab.

View the contents of a previous version

In the Page History tab, in the version number row, click View.

Compare two versions

In the Page History tab, select the check boxes of versions, then click Compare selected versions.

Initially the Diff editor shows only the changed portions of the pages. Click Show unchanged regions in the toolbar to display all of the content. Click Show side by side to view the versions side by side. Use the up and down arrows to scroll to the previous or next change.

For large files that take longer than the default 10 second processing timeout, you'll be prompted to show the incomplete results, or retry the Diff calculation using the maximum 30 second processing timeout. In both cases a progress indicator displays the Diff calculation progress.

Restore the wiki to a version

In the Page History tab, in the version number row, click Restore this version. In the Revert Wiki Page dialog box, select the I understand that my wiki page will be updated to this revisions' content check box and click Yes.

Restoring a page creates a new version of the page with the contents from the version you want to restore. You can’t restore a wiki page if you don’t have its edit access.
