How Do I ... Revert A Page To A Previous Version

There are times when you are editing a page when you will want to return to a previous revision of the page in order to have the content you want.

To revert a page, you will need to use the Timeline item in the My Sites menu.

NOTE: You will only be able to revert to "New Version" items, not "Page published" or "Page edited" items.

2. Navigate to the location of the page you wish to revert
   
   
3. Click the checkbox to the left of the page title
