Question
Hi,
I'd like to know how to show one of the old revisions rather than the newest one since sometimes I find that the newest is not correct or applicable.
For example,there're such revisions:
r9>r8>r7....>r1. It's I who create this topic but r9 is edited by another person. I found r9 is not a good one. So I want to display r8 and even delete r9.
How can I do that in Twiki?
Thanks,
Erming PEI

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.
- The easiest way is to copy the text from the raw view of r8 and paste it as the current version :-). See RevertToPreviousRevision.
- That same document says, "An administrator can also roll back a revision. This should be used with care and must not be abused or users would lose the trust in the system.
See specifics at the end of the twiki/lib/TWiki.cfg
file". I'm curious how to do that too, but that's an old posting and that file doesn't seem to exist any more.
- If this is a frequent occurrence or business requirement, you might want to review the various workflow plugins. I haven't tried the specific ones myself, but workflow usually involves an approval process on content before it is widely accessible.
