Versioning in content items

Kontent.ai creates a new version of a content item when:
  • You change the content item’s workflow step.
  • You make changes to the content after not working on the item for 30 minutes.
  • Someone else on your project makes changes to the content.

Compare versions

To compare differences between versions of a content item:
  1. Click  More actions in the upper right of the content item.
  2. Select  Version history.
  3. Select the versions you want to compare.
You can now compare the differences between versions in the highlighted sections.
View a single versionWhen comparing versions, switch the Compare versions toggle to see a single version.
The versions list gives you a complete overview of who made changes and when. This also includes changes of workflow steps. You can view each version, compare it to a previous version, and view more detailed information about each version by clicking More details.

  2. Select  Version history.
  3. Select the version you want to restore.
  4. Click Restore older version at the top.
When you restore an older version of a content item that uses a previously deleted asset, you restore the asset as well. The restored asset will appear in Content & assets > Assets.
