Summary
Version Control
Every Modular Page comes with version control.
These are intended to allow users to work on multiple versions of the page, either to make changes in draft before putting them live, or to have multiple versions for different purposes:
Although all changes to Modular Pages are instant, you will not see them on the website unless you are editing the live version
FAQs
How do I make a new version?
To make a new version, either copy and existing version, or alternatively user the control to create a new version from scratch.
How do I switch between versions?
Use the drop down and select a version, then click 'view version'.
How do I rename a version?
Use the 'rename version' button in order to rename the version.
You can only rename the version that you are currently viewing.
