How does it work?
Step 1: Open Version History Panel
There are two ways to view your page’s version history. One is through the Page Details window and another is through clicking the Page Status notification.
Through Page Details
Under the More Details section, you will find a Version History link.
Through Page Status
When available, click the Page Status notification.
Step 2: View Version List
The Version History panel will show published and draft versions of your page. The latest versions are listed first. Information about who published the version and when it was published is also available.
Step 3: Expand Version To View Changes
You can review changes made by selecting a version entry. The page preview will show the version you selected and the version panel will list all changes made between versions.
Step 4: Use Highlight Changes
When you have many elements on your page and you want to highlight what changes were made, you can use the Highlight changes on page option. ShortPoint fully supports versioning and elements you added through Page Builder will be highlighted. Added elements are highlighted in green, edited components in yellow and deleted components in red.
