WordPress Revisions in Beaver Builder

What are WordPress revisions?​

Whether you're editing a post, page, or custom post type in WordPress, it keeps track of the changes you make. Every time you click the Save Draft or the Update button, WordPress saves a copy of your content.

These copies are called revisions. Your revisions can be viewed directly from the WordPress Page/Post Settings Sidebar or within the Beaver Builder user interface for the page or post you're editing in Beaver Builder.

tip

WordPress Revisions are available for all Beaver Builder layouts: pages, posts, templates, saved rows, columns, modules, and Beaver Themer layout types if Beaver Themer installed.

Access Revisions​

  1. Launch Beaver Builder on any layout using Beaver Builder.

  2. On the Tools menu, click Revisions.
    The number of revisions available is displayed in brackets. For example, [10] means this layout has 10 revisions.

  3. The previous versions of that page or post are displayed in a list. Click one of the revisions to preview the layout.
