Managing Rollbacks

Rollback pages are backup versions of each web page published with Contribute. Each rollback page is a copy of the last published version of that page prior to the currently published version. For example, if you open a page for editing in Contribute, modify the content, and publish your changes without having previously updated and published that page, there is exactly one rollback version of the page (in this case the rollback version is the original page).

To enable and disable rollback pages

1. Access the administration panel
2. Click Sitewide Settings
3. Select Enable rollbacks to activate rollbacks, or deselect to turn rollbacks off.
4. Click OK to close the Sitewide Settings dialog box.
5. Click OK to close the Administer Website dialog box.

To specify the number of roll back pages:

When you specify the number of rollback pages, consider the amount of disk space that will be used by storing the rollback pages. The pages are stored on the web server. The default number of rollback pages is 3 (Contribute can maintain up to 99 rollback versions of each page).

1. Access the administration panel
2. Click Sitewide Settings
3. Enter the number of rollback versions to maintain in the "keep previous versions of each page" text box, or use the arrow buttons to change the number.
4. Click OK.
