I create webpages for many classrooms. 

I opened a web page to copy a piece of text from one classroom report. 

I then opened another classsroom report to paste that piece of text. 

I republished the webpage. 

Now when I view that webpage it has been ToTALLY overwritten by the version that I copied the piece of text from. 

is there anyway to roll back a version or restore the previous version ?

No, support coudlnt explain what happened. What I suspect happened is the browser cache overwrote the page. 

The content was lost forever. 

What I do now is switch between browsers when I do a new page ie: do a webpage on chrome and the next one on Edge. This way there is no way for the cache to overwrite the content.

@Virginia38932460xiv8 did you ever figure out what happened? (re: I spend so long making a unit on a webpage and it completed changed to a different webpage that I already had. ) This just happened to a student of mine. She had a full webpage built then unexplicably the content on the page she had was converted to a series of links - exactly like she had on another webpage (called her home page). It was as if the page with links was duplicated and copied over the page she had already built. It's so frustrating as she had been working on this page for 3 years and her work is just gone.

yes, I realised that last night but i'm hoping that since I didnt replace one webpage with another that there is some sort of access that you have to restore the previous version.  If you see the length of the webpage it would be impossible for me to have totally replaced the contents with another webage without noticing. Something else has gone wrong.

Hi @Northwest29778056nk7l,

 

I'd like to inform you that we do not have version history and whenever anyone publishes, it replaces that last published copy.

 

Regards,
