Reverting and restoring changes to pages

When designing your Web page, you can use the History palette to revert to a previous state of the page. The History palette records the changes that you make to the page in Layout view or Source view. Each time that you make a change to the page, the new state of the page is added to the History palette. You can revert to a previous state of the page by selecting any state in the History palette. Once you've reverted to a previous state, you can restore changes that you made to that state by choosing a newer state in the History palette.

The History palette lists up to 20 states of the page in Layout view or Source view. The content of the History palette is cleared when you switch from the Layout view or Source view to another view in the same document. However, the content is adjusted when you switch between open documents that are in the same view, either Layout view or Source view.

As an alternative to using the History palette, you can undo a change that you've made to a page by choosing Edit > Undo. To restore the change that you made to the page before choosing the Undo command, you can choose Edit > Redo. Adobe GoLive lets you undo and restore multiple changes using the Edit menu. At any time, you can also revert to the state of your page when you last saved it by choosing File > Revert to Saved.

To revert to a previous state of a document:

1 Choose Window > History.

The History palette lists the previous states of the document, the oldest state at the top of the list and the newest state at the bottom.

2 In the History palette, click the state of the document to which you want to revert.

3 To restore the changes that you made to that document state, choose a newer state in the History palette. (The newer states of the document are dimmed.)

In Mac OS, press Shift+Command+Z to restore the changes that you made to a document state incrementally. To discard all of the changes to the document listed in the History palette, press Option+Command+Z, and then click Discard.
