Revisions

WollyCMS automatically saves a revision every time a page is saved. This gives you a complete history of changes with the ability to restore any previous version.

Every time you click Save in the page editor, WollyCMS:

  1. Stores a snapshot of the current page state (all fields, blocks, regions)
  2. Records who made the change and when
  3. Optionally stores the save note if one was provided

No manual “create revision” step — it happens automatically on every save.

In the page editor sidebar, expand the Revisions section to see the history. Each entry shows:

  • Timestamp — When the revision was created
  • Author — Who saved the change
  • Save note — Optional description (entered in the “Save note” field before saving)

Click on any revision to preview it, then click Restore to revert the page to that state. Restoring creates a new revision — so you can always undo a restore.

The page editor includes an optional “Save note” field next to the Save button. Use it to describe what changed:

  • “Updated hero heading for spring campaign”
  • “Added new FAQ items”
  • “Fixed typo in pricing section”

Save notes make the revision history much more useful when you need to find a specific change.

  • Use save notes for meaningful changes — skip them for typo fixes
  • Check revision history before restoring to make sure you’re picking the right version
  • Remember that restoring is non-destructive — the current state becomes a revision too
