Ideas for Arc XP

Revisions that actually work

Currently in PageBuilder (Editor or Classic admin for Fusion) you cannot view diffs or restore previous versions of PB pages or templates.

 

Version control is an important feature and it's missing.

    We are happy to share with you all that with Editor 3.4, you can now select one of the 10 previously Published Draft to replace My Draft.

    Sorry - Didn't realize this was page builder - my comments were for Composer.

    @Lynda Finley - Did you mean this for PageBuilder Editor or Composer?

    The most important thing for us would just be the ability to revert to a previously published version, but being able to see a high level diff between live and the revision and/or a preview before doing the restore would be a plus but we really need the restore capability.

    For example, Version A is created and published, then someone else starts to make changes to it and abandons it.

    They come back months later when we're on Version G and attempt to make a new change not realizing that their copy is super outdated and they accidentally override the page/template with those abandoned changes.

    In that situation, it can be difficult to fix the problem quickly because we have no way of viewing the old revision as a reference and some of our features have somewhat complex/specific config.

    We are looking for information like - when was the send to print button hit? And what was in this particular version - not what's different between this version and the live version. So that you can see what has changed from version to version - not how each version compares to the live version.

    Thank you for your suggestions. We are considering this feature for our roadmap. Would love to learn more about your use-cases, what level of details would you be looking for in the revisions, and are these revisions for Published versions of Pages/Templates?
