Even the best and brightest Web Editors have their dull moments. Fortunately, Modern Campus 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Whenever edits to a page are published by a Web Editor, an updated version of that page is stored in its entirety for historical reference.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.

icon.Now that you are aware of the page versions module, you can feel a little more free to publish your page edits on the CalLutheran.edu website and trust that you can revert to a previous page version when needed.
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.
