The Post Revisions module shows any backup copies of your post. Each time you click Save Draft or Update Post, a revision is saved. WordPress.com will store the last 25 revisions for each post on your blog. Post Revisions allow you to look back at the recent changes you’ve made and revert to an earlier version if you need to.

To find the Post Revisions module, you will need to go to the edit screen for the post or page that you want to see the revisions for. Still don’t see the module? You may need to enable it in your screen options. (Please note that the module will not show until you have made some revisions.)

To compare Post Revisions, select a revision date in the Post Revisions section under the text editor. Select another date in the revisions list, click Compare Revisions, and you can check out the two versions of your post side by side, with changes clearly highlighted. In this example, we’re comparing two versions of the same post, edited within the same minute.

To restore a previous version of a post, click Restore for that date and the post is reverted back.

You can’t manually delete post revisions, but the oldest revision is automatically deleted if there are more than 25 revisions.
