=Page History and Reverting to Older Copy=

Each time someone edits a page, the wiki software take a visual snapshot of the changes so you can see in a glance how much has changed. Was it one line or the whole page? Click on 'history' at the top of any page to see all changes. Then click on the screenshot to the left of each entry to see a visual representation of the changes.

You can also compare any two versions of a page by clicking "select for comparison" on one version of a page and then "compare to selected" on another.

Wiki software keeps every version of every page and makes it easy for members to revert back to a previous copy. You'll never have to worry about losing changes or being stuck with a new version of a page if someone makes a mistake.

Reverting Pages
Reverting a page lets you restore the content on a page that existed at any previous point in time. It's not to be done lightly, but can be very helpful if a page has been vandalized or to undo editing mistakes.

To revert a page:


 * click on 'history' on top of the page you want to revert
 * select the version you would like to go back to, either by clicking on the changes screenshot image or the 'view this version' link
 * click on 'revert' at the top of the page
 * enter a comment and click the Revert button

When you revert a page, please enter a comment that explains why you reverted the page. Note that you must be logged in to revert pages.
