Assuming correct permissions, the author can look at the article history and re-publish a previous version.
Hi @MattYap ,
When I view the history either by clicking the View History when viewing the article in the dashboard,
or viewing all history (from the edit screen)
I do not see a way to re-publish a specific version. I am an administrator so would assume I have permissions. Is there an option missing from our pages?
Thanks.
@SohilM I came to Atlas today to ask the same question as @Ryan_Gilmore and was lucky to stumble upon his post, because we’re experiencing the same thing. Our users (particularly our moderators and super users) have been particularly frustrated at this functionality gap, as it was heavily utilized by them when we were on JX.
Our primary use case is very similar to Ryan’s, where a user inadvertently does something that messes up their formatting (i.e. underlying CSS) and publishes the new version thinking they can roll back as needed, but then finds themselves trapped when they can’t.
Because many of our moderators were also accustomed to the Overview Page editor in JX and Studio/FreeMarker is well beyond their technical expertise, they’ve lost a lot of their page management abilities and independence in Khoros, having to rely on my team of admins/developers much more frequently for even minor changes. (They’re all VERY excited for Aurora!)
As such, we have implemented some TKB articles in restricted boards where the moderators can design their pages and we then use custom components to retrieve the message bodies and use the HTML to populate the actual pages.
But if they make an inadvertent change that breaks a page element (e.g. they tweak something in HTML mode and accidentally delete a closing div tag) and publish a new revision, it becomes panic time as their page is broken and they can’t roll back their change.
So this is why, at least for us, the ability to restore previous versions is a crucial functionality.
