How to Revert to Old Revisions

1. XoWiki keeps for every file a revision history. When an entry is updated, the old version is still kept in the revision history. This makes it possible to revert to earlier versions at arbitrary times. Depending on the permission policies, users with the right to see the revisions get a link in the XoWiki menu bar. To access the revisions page click on the "Revision" link on the navigation as seen below:
