Oops! Have you ever accidentally published your edits before you were ready? Accidentally overwrite the previous version of your article? If you’ve ever made mistakes like this, you’ll really appreciate the Post Revisions feature in WordPress!

Post Revisions is an easy-to-overlook feature at the bottom of the “Edit” pane. To access Post Revisions, simply open a previously-published post and scroll to the bottom of the page. You’ll find a list of dates and times, indicating the previous published versions of that particular post. Simply click the “Restore” link adjacent to the version you wish to roll back to, and voila! That version will be restored instantly.

• The WordPress autosave functionality.
• How to compare revisions side-by-side.
• How to restore a previous revision.
