1. Click on the "complete history" link in the "Last page update" area of the page.

2. Compare the new page to previous versions and decide which former version you would like to revert it to.
3. By clicking the ">" icon next to a former page, it will show the buttons to "Make Current Version" or "Delete This Version".
4. Click the "Make Current Version" button to revert the page to that version.

1. To delete a page version, navigate to the page, and click on the "complete history" link in the "Last page update" area of the page.

2. Click on the "[>]" link to expand the history of the page version you plan to delete.


3. Click "Delete this version" and this window will appear:

Type in the reason you're deleting the page version, and then click the "Delete Version" button.
This is what happens after you delete a page version:
  • The page version will remain visible to moderators who click on the "Page History" tab, but the title will be crossed-out.
  • Any comments made by the moderator who removed the page version will be visible.

This page needs an update.
http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/page/Revert+or+Delete+Page+Version
Doesn't match with your new template... pixel... restrictions...
So the content disappears on the right hand side...

Thanks,

Once a version is deleted, why will it remain in the history where no content can be viewed? It a version is deleted why shouldn't it be permenately deleted? When I delete something I expect that all remenance will disappear... Come on now! Is there some bugs that wetpaint is trying to work out or what?
