Revision history and restore

Autessa Community keeps the full revision history of every wiki page. Each save is a numbered revision with its editor and a summary, any revision can be compared side by side with the page as it stands now, with changed lines highlighted, and any revision can be restored.

The problem

People hesitate to edit what they cannot undo

If one bad edit can wipe out a page, people stop editing and the wiki goes stale. A history that shows exactly what changed, and restores it in a click, makes it safe for everyone to improve pages.

What you get

  • Every save is a numbered revision with the editor’s name, the time and the summary of what changed.
  • Pick any revision to compare it side by side with the current page.
  • Changed lines are highlighted so the difference is obvious.
  • Restore this revision brings an older version back, after a confirmation, as a new revision.
  • A page’s revision count is shown so you can see how much it has evolved.
