Even the best and brightest Web Editors have their dull moments. Fortunately, Omni CMS is here to help.
Whenever edits to a page are published by a Web Editor, an updated version of that page is stored in its entirety for historical reference. At any point in the future, all previous page versions can be viewed, compared, and reverted to. This can come in handy when mistakes are made, data is lost, or there is simply an interest in remembering how a page once looked.

EXTRA INSIGHT: Remember that a version is automatically created when the 
button is clicked on a page, but not when only the 
button is clicked. If you want to manually create a version without publishing, click the 
icon and then click the 
option.
