This page last changed on May 23, 2005 by tom@atlassian.com.

Each time a page is edited, Confluence keeps the previous version. You can see all of these old versions, and you can see the differences between two versions, which makes it easy to see what has changed.

Previous versions of a page are accessed from the page's [Info Tab].

The History List

Clicking the 'View page history' link takes you to a view which shows all the previous versions of the page. Each version is numbered. The oldest version is number 1.

On this page you can:

  • Replace the content of the page with that of an old version by clicking the restore link .
  • Compare two versions by selecting their check boxes and clicking the compare selected version button.
  • View an old version by clicking on the numbered link in the version column.

Comparing Versions

To compare two versions you select two versions as described above, or use one of the shortcuts on the [Info Tab] to compare two recent consecutive versions.

The comparison view shows:

  • Information about the two versions: their authors, and creation times.
  • The number of changes between the two versions, and a link to the first of them.
  • The changes. Lines inserted are shown in green, and lines removed in red.

    Unchanged lines have a white background. Each change has links to go to the previous and next changes.
