Hello, on a confluence page I want to discard changes I did a while ago, in order for them to not overwrite the updates others did in the meanwhile. How can I do that? Many thanks in advance, Kerstin

Hi @Kerstin Paulus and welcome,

Open the page in the Edit mode, click the ... menu, click Revert to Previous version.

Review the changes and click Revert page.

Hello @Kristian Klima

Thank you for the answer!

May I give a suggestion? Maybe it was just me, but the text "Revert to previous version" was a little bit misleading (and that's why I had to do a quick search and found this post).

Maybe if the description of that button had "discard" somewhere it would be more straightforward, like "Discard current changes", because I wasn't sure if it was really reverting to the previous version.

E.g. I started doing changes on v2 (my changes would be v3) and I thought it would revert to v1, when in fact it discards the changes and stay on v2.

Once again, if you click on the option then you see that it will discard the changes, but I believe it would be clearer if you could understand that from the description of the button itself.

Best regards

Hi @car6lis 

I agree it is confusing - but as I'm not working for Atlassian, I can only suggest that you log a suggestion with Atlassian.
