When editing a content item, you can undo actions using the Undo functionality. However, once you have saved a content item, undoing particular specific editing actions is no longer possible. In cases where yo you need to revert a content item to a state in the past, use the XperienCentral revisions functionality. In XperienCentral, a revision is a copy of the complete state of a content item at a particular date and time in the past including content, its layout, its publication state and its workflow status. If needed, you can revert a content item to a state in the past in order to begin anew from a specific point.

To revert a content item to a previous versionrevision, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the content item you want to revert to a previous versionrevision.
2. Open the Properties widget.
3. Click [Edit].
4. Click the Revisions tab:
   
   
   
   
   The Revisions tab opens. It shows a list containing the last x number of revisions for the current content item. The revisions are ordered from top to bottom with the newest revision appearing at the top. The numbering is consecutive beginning at 1. As a result of cleanup actions in your deployment, the revision number appearing at the bottom will not always be 1. For example, you could see in the table revisions 26-51 which means that the first 25 revisions have been deleted and you can only choose to revert to a revision between 26 and 51.  The revisions table shows the following properties for each revision:
   

   
   

   Property	Description
   Revision	The content item revision number.
   Title	The title the revision had when it was created.
   Editor	The editor responsible for creating the revision.

   Workflow state	The workflow state the revision had when it was created.
