Understanding Revisions
Keep in my mind that restoring to an earlier revision will not delete the latest version of your post. Instead, WordPress will store it in the database as another revision.
Using Post Revisions to Undo Changes in WordPress
WordPress displays the number of revisions under the ‘Document’ panel on the post/page edit screen.
1. Right-hand side Panel
You can find that on the right-hand side of your post editor screen under Publish. Clicking on the ‘Revisions’ will take you to post revisions screen.
2. Post revisions
The post revision screen will show you the latest revision of the post with a scrollbar on top. Sliding the button on the scroll bar will take you to earlier revisions of the post. Changes made in each revision will be highlighted in green and pink colours. On the top, you can see the user who made these changes, time, and other information.
3. Restore a revision
To restore a revision, you can simply click on Restore This Revision or Restore This Autosave button. WordPress will restore the selected revision as your current post revision, and you can then save it as a draft.
