How to Use Version Control

Track changes and restore previous versions of your articles.

How Version Control Works

Automatic Versioning

Every time an article is saved, Zuro creates a new version:

• Manual edits: Each save creates a version
• Status changes: Draft → Pending → Approved creates versions
• Bulk updates: Category/tag changes are tracked

Version Information

Each version includes:

• Version number: Sequential version identifier
• Author: Who made the change
• Timestamp: When the change was made
• Change summary: What was modified
• Content snapshot: Full article content at that point

Viewing Version History

Access History

1. Open any article
2. Click "Version History" button
3. View list of all versions
4. Compare versions side-by-side

Version Details

For each version, you can see:

• Version number and date
• Author information
• Change summary
• Full content at that point
• Status at that time

Restoring Versions

Restore Previous Version

1. Open version history
2. Select the version to restore
3. Click "Restore This Version"
4. Confirm restoration
5. Article reverts to selected version

Note: Restoring creates a new version, so you can always undo a restore.

Best Practices

Version Management

• Review before publishing: Check version history before major changes
• Use descriptive edits: Make meaningful changes per version
• Don't over-restore: Only restore when necessary
• Document major changes: Note significant updates in change summary

Collaboration

• Review team changes: See what team members edited
• Track approvals: Monitor approval workflow versions
• Maintain history: Keep version history for compliance

Version Limits

• All Plans: Unlimited version history
• Retention: Versions are kept indefinitely
• Storage: Versions don't count toward article limits
