Page versions

In AEM, a page version is a snapshot of a page at a specific point in time. When you make a version, the exact content of the page is retained. You can create page versions either manually from several places or automatically.

View page versions

Versions can be accessed using:

  • Sites console timeline
  • Page editor Timewarp mode

Manual creation of versions

When managing page versions, you can create a page version, restore the previous version of a page, compare the current page version with a previous page version, and preview the page version.

You can create a version of a resource from the Create menu.

Automatic creation of versions

Automatic triggers for creating versions:

  • Quick Publication of a page
  • Workflows can trigger version creation

In the next lesson, you'll learn how to review updates using page versions.
