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.


From the Home Page

  1. Click the History button at the bottom of the page.

     Note

    By default, the History feature is available for logged in (Registered) users. You can disable the History feature on the Administration: Wiki page.

    Tiki displays the history (all edit sessions) of the Home Page.

  2. In the Compare column select any two version and click Compare. TIki shows a side-by-side comparison of two versions of the Home Page.

    Items that were added are shown in green; items that were deleted in red.


Tiki has several ways to show the differences between two versions of a page. This is called diffing1 . Only users with the necessary permission (tiki_p_view_history) can view a page's history.

Available diff modes:

  • HTML diff
  • Side-by-side diff
  • Side-by-side diff by characters2
  • Inline diff2
  • Inline diff by characters2
  • Full side-by-side diff2
  • Full side-by-side diff by characters2
  • Full inline diff2
  • Full inline diff by characters2
  • Unified diff2
  • Side-by-side view2
