Enabling And Disabling Rollbacks; Specifying The Number Of Rollback Pages - MACROMEDIA CONTRIBUTE-USING CONTRIBUTE Use Manual

Enabling and disabling rollbacks

Rollback pages are backup versions of each web page published with Contribute. Each rollback
page is a copy of the last published version of that page prior to the currently published version.
For example, if you open a page for editing in Contribute, modify the content, and publish your
changes without having previously updated and published that page, there is exactly one rollback
version of the page (in this case the rollback version is the original page).
To enable and disable rollback pages:
Do one of the following:
1
•
If the Administrator Password dialog box appears, enter the administrator password and click OK.
•
If the site has no administrator, a dialog box appears and asks if you want to become the
website's administrator. Click Yes; then enter and confirm an administrator password for the
website and click OK.
The Administer Website dialog box appears.
Click Sitewide Settings.
2
The Sitewide Settings dialog box appears.
Select Enable rollbacks to activate rollbacks, or deselect to turn rollbacks off.
3
Click OK to close the Sitewide Settings dialog box.
4
Click OK to close the Administer Website dialog box.

Specifying the number of rollback pages

Contribute can maintain up to 99 rollback versions of each published page. When you specify the
number of rollback pages, carefully consider the amount of disk space that will be consumed by
storing the rollback pages. The pages are stored on the web server. The default number of rollback
pages is three.
