Revision Log

On any page you create/edit, you will see a right sidebar with the following fields:

The revision log is most important for major updates after the page/content is created. If you ever needed to revert to a past revision, having the log is helpful.

  • Make sure to leave Create new revision checked.

  • Check the Publishing status checkbox if you are ready to make the page live on your site.
