The \u201cRevisions\u201d menu is located next to the WordPress editor, inside the \u201cPublish\u201d box. <strong>Click the \u201cBrowse\u201d button<\/strong> to access the revision management screen.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/wordpress-post-revisions-guide\/browse-revisions-wp-admin.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"456\" alt=\"WordPress admin interface showing the Browse revisions menu\"><\/figure>\n<p>The revision management screen allows you to <strong>compare differences<\/strong> between different versions of your post.

As mentioned earlier, WordPress\u2019 revision system is <strong>highly automated<\/strong>. Each time you save a post or page, <strong>a new revision is automatically generated<\/strong> in the database, and <strong>a new entry is added<\/strong> to the \u201cRevisions\u201d screen.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/wordpress-post-revisions-guide\/browse-revisions-wp-admin.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"456\" alt=\"WordPress admin interface showing the revisions menu\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Autosaves<\/h3>\n<p>WordPress also creates revisions through its <strong>autosave feature<\/strong>. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Revisions#Autosaves\">Autosave<\/a> is <strong>enabled by default for all posts and pages<\/strong>, and it <strong>cannot be turned off<\/strong>. However, you can <strong>adjust the autosave interval<\/strong> (instructions provided below). The default autosave interval is <strong>60 seconds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to worry about excessive autosaves cluttering your database, as new autosaves <strong>overwrite the previous ones<\/strong>. Unlike regular revisions, autosaves are stored as a <strong>special revision type<\/strong>. Their primary function is to enable you to <strong>restore an autosaved backup<\/strong> if your browser crashes or shuts down unexpectedly.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/wordpress-post-revisions-guide\/wp-revisions-autosave.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"456\" alt=\"Autosave feature in WordPress revisions\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Compare Revisions<\/h2>\n<p>Comparing revisions in WordPress is simple. You can compare two revisions by <strong>adjusting the range slider<\/strong> at the top of the Revisions screen. You can also <strong>use the \u201cPrevious\u201d and \u201cNext\u201d buttons<\/strong> to move the slider and select different revisions to compare.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that this screen allows you to <strong>view differences<\/strong> between revisions but does not permit direct editing of the revisions themselves.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/wordpress-post-revisions-guide\/compare-adjacent-revisions.gif\" width=\"850\" height=\"568\" alt=\"WordPress interface for comparing adjacent revisions\"><\/figure>\n<p>By default, you can compare two adjacent revisions. However, if you check the <strong>\u201cCompare any two revisions\u201d<\/strong> checkbox, you can also view differences between non-consecutive versions of the post.<\/p>\n<p>When this option is enabled, the range slider <strong>displays two handles<\/strong>, and a <strong>\u201cFrom \u2026 To \u2026 \u201d box appears<\/strong> below it, making it easy to identify which two revisions you are comparing.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/wordpress-post-revisions-guide\/compare-any-two-revisions.gif\" width=\"850\" height=\"568\" alt=\"WordPress interface for comparing any two revisions\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Restoring a Previous Revision<\/h2>\n<p>You can <strong>restore any previous revision<\/strong> by selecting the desired revision and clicking the <strong>\u201cRestore This Revision\u201d<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/wordpress-post-revisions-guide\/restore-previous-revision.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"456\" alt=\"Option to restore a previous revision in WordPress\"><\/figure>\n<p>Once you click the button, the <strong>selected revision appears<\/strong> within the WordPress post editor, and you\u2019ll receive a <strong>notification at the top of the screen<\/strong>, confirming the restoration.<\/p>\n<p>After reviewing the restored content, simply <strong>update the post<\/strong>, and the restored version will be <strong>published on your site<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/wordpress-post-revisions-guide\/restored-revision-wp-editor.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"456\" alt=\"Restored revision displayed in WordPress editor\"><\/figure>\n<p>Restoring a previous revision does not delete the latest version of the post from the database; you can <strong>return to it at any time<\/strong> using the same Restore feature.<\/p>\n<h2>Configuring Revisions in <code>wp-config.php<\/code><\/h2>\n<p>You can <strong>configure various revision-related settings<\/strong> within your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/wpconfig-snippets-configure-wordpress\/\">wp-config.php file<\/a>. This file is located in the root directory of your server and can be <strong>accessed via FTP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not comfortable editing root files on your server, it\u2019s advisable to <strong>use a revision management plugin instead<\/strong> (a few options are mentioned below).<\/p>\n<h3>Limiting the Number of Revisions<\/h3>\n<p>To conserve database space, you can <strong>limit the number of revisions<\/strong> by adding the following line near the beginning of your wp-config.php file (right after the opening <code>&lt;?php<\/code> tag).<\/p>\n<pre>\r\n# Limits each post to 5 revisions\r\ndefine( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', 5 );\r\n<\/pre>\n<h3>Disabling Revisions<\/h3>\n<p>If necessary, you can also <strong>completely disable<\/strong> the post revision feature.<\/p>\n<pre>\r\n# Disables the post revision feature\r\ndefine( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', false );\r\n<\/pre>\n<h3>Changing the Autosave Interval<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, the default autosave interval is 60 seconds. You can <strong>modify this interval<\/strong> in your wp-config.php file by adding the following code snippet. Remember to define the autosave interval <strong>in seconds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<pre>\r\n# Sets the autosave interval to 180 seconds\r\ndefine( 'AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 180 );\r\n<\/pre>\n<h2>Revision Management Plugins<\/h2>\n<p>There are several <strong>revision management plugins<\/strong> available in the WordPress plugin repository.
