Version History feature allows you to revert your page to a previously saved version. You can preview a version by selecting it and scrolling through the entire page to make sure that is the correct version before deciding to restore it.
Once you click the “Restore” button, a pop-up confirmation dialogue will appear to confirm the restoration process.
