Hi, do you have a way to restore an old version of a page? For some reason, the content that I am creating in Confluence is mostly gone, and I couldn’t restore it.

Hello @Kresha Joy Ciocson-Delmo 

Yes, sometimes you can restore it, but it depends on what was lost.

If that content was part of an earlier published version of the page, open Version history (More actions → Version history) and restore the older version from there. Confluence keeps the page history and restores it as a new latest version. 

If the missing content was only in unpublished changes, check Drafts in your profile first. But if those unpublished edits were already discarded with Revert to previous version or the draft was deleted, that part is permanent.

If a page is archived, you can restore it.  However if a page is deleted, it is gone and you can't restore it.

Hi @Kresha Joy Ciocson-Delmo 

Was it an acutal published version of the page? Then it should be possible to restore/revert as suggested by others in this thread.

You can also check your browser history if it contains direct links to the page in the state you are looking for. In that case follow the link and copy/paste the information to a new page to avoid loosing any information dure to version conflicts.

Best regards,
