Viewing Page History

Every wiki page in your Tiki is stored in the database — not as separate HTML files. Each time you update or edit a page, Tiki adds a new record in the database. This makes it very easy to view a page's "history" and review all changes.

Tip: You can configure how many versions of each page Tiki should retain in the database (the default is all pages), which types of edits trigger a "history change," and other options on the Administration: Wiki page.

1. From the Home Page, click the history button at the bottom of the page.
   

   Note: The "History" feature is available because it is enabled (by default) on the Administration: Wiki page.

   
   
   
   

   "History of the Home Page.
   
   
   
2. In the Compare column select any two version and click Compare.

Items that were added are shown in green, as shown in the prior figure.

Tiki has several ways to show the differences between two versions of a page. This is called diffing. Only users with the necessary permission (tiki_p_view_history) can view a page's history.
