Page Revisions

In Webiny, each modification made in a page (in the Page Builder) that is published is stored as a separate revision. In this tutorial, we will learn how to create multiple revisions of a page and publish a specific revision. We will also learn how to create a new page version from a previous revision.

We will do this in 4 steps:

• Step 1: Create a new page
• Step 2: Make multiple revisions of a page
• Step 3: Publish a specific revision of a page
• Step 4: Create a new page version from a previous revision
