− | ====Can we go back to an old wiki page version, visible via the history page?====
| + | Dummy |
− | Yes
| |
− | ====Is this an administrator job?====
| |
− | No, anyone logged in can revert pages back to a former version
| |
− | ====How?====
| |
− | =====Reverting back to a previous version:=====
| |
− | # Click on history
| |
− | # Choose the datetime you wish to revert to by clicking on that hyperlinked date.
| |
− | # Verify that this is the correct version. Move forward and back with the previous/next buttons to get to the proper place.
| |
− | # Click the edit tab. In the comment box note that this is a revision and then save (note: there will be a warning about saving an out of date page, go ahead and do this anyway).
| |
− | | |
− | =====Adding content from a previous version (partial revision)=====
| |
− | For example, there is a way to splice in the old stuff Michael needs (without doing a full reversion).
| |
− | # Go to the current version of the page you want to change
| |
− | # Click on the “history” tab.
| |
− | # Choose the radio buttons next to the current page and the page in history that contains the pieces you want to add back.
| |
− | # Click on “compare”
| |
− | # Copy the old text you want.
| |
− | # Edit the current page and insert the missing text
