TYPO3 can be used as a collaboration tool. The History/Undo and Versioning facilitate a cooperative editing environment.
While working in groups on a page, it may be useful to see the changes made by another contributor. Page change history is kept for at least 30 days. History older than 30 days is not guaranteed to be available.
Differences from the live version
- 1. Versioning module interface
The Versioning module shows a summary of all changes to a page from the current published version, known as the Live version.
A screen capture of the Versioning module shows the text added in green. Deleted text would be shown in red.
The screen capture also shows the current status of the content (Editing, Review or Publish states).
Cancel all unpublished changes (remove from workspace)
Before a change is published, it is very easy to cancel changes using Remove from workspace.
- Click the Versioning module
- Click the page in the pagetree where you want to cancel changes
- Locate the specific record you want to cancel. This may be the page record or a content record
- Click the
button for the record change
you want to cancel - Click OK in the confirmation dialog window
After canceling the change, the element will be reverted to the live version. This means if the page or content element was never published, it will be thrown away (unrecoverable). If it was previously published, the changes will be thrown away (unrecoverable) and visitors will still see the unedited live version.
Revert hand-selected changes
- Undo/rollback interface
To undo specific changes to a page or page content,
- Right-click on the page in the tree and click History/Undo
- In the table of changes, click the
button for the change you
want to undo - In the working area, click the undo button for the change
you want to revert.
There will be rollback buttons for each change that can be rolled back. Clicking the
button will undo
all of the changes shown and the 
button will roll back
just that content element. The exact contents that will be
reverted is different in every case and cannot be explicitly
defined here.
However, in the simple example shown, all three buttons will do the same thing
