Writing & Editing

Posts » Post Revisions

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

To find the Revisions module, you will need to go to the edit screen for the post you want to see the revisions for. Still don’t see the module? You may need to enable it in your screen options.

Note: The module will not show until you have made some revisions. Also you can’t manually delete post revisions, but the oldest revision is automatically deleted if there are more than 25 revisions.

Comparing Revisions

To compare Post Revisions, select a revision in the Revisions section under the text editor. You’ll be able to tell at glance what was removed from and/or added to the post:
