Check Out a Previous Version of a Content Item
When you check out a content item, you choose which
version you want to edit. In some cases you may want to "rollback"
to a previous version of a content item. You can do this by checking out a previous
version of a content item and transitioning it to Published status.
You can check out a content item from one of two locations:
- Use the Content Repository if the item is not currently assigned to you
or your role.
- Use the Content Workspace if the item is currently assigned to you. Items
assigned to you appear in the Content Workspace under the My Assigned Items
folder.
To check out a previous version of a content item from
the Content Repository:
- If the item is not currently assigned to you, use
the Content Repository to check out the item. Items assigned to you appear
in the Content Workspace under the My Assigned Items folder.
- From the Content Repository, click the content item you want to check out.
- In the Editor pane, click the View Content tab.
- In the View Content tab, use the Version drop-down list to select the version
you want to check out.
- Click Check Out.
You can either make your changes to the content item from the Content Repository
or navigate to the Content Workspace where the content item will be listed in
the My Checked Out Items folder.
