Library version management

You can restore a set of items within a library that either have the same label or were versioned at, or before, a specified date and time.

You can only restore or label one set of items at a time. You will not be able to execute a second restore or label request until the first request has been completed. If you are restoring or labelling a large number of items, this may take some time.

When restoring items that contain links or references to other items you will be prompted to select a new item to link or reference if the original item no longer exists.

You must be an Administrator to work with Web content libraries.

A library cannot be restored while there are any items currently locked or checked out by users. Before restoring a library view all published items in a library and unlock any items marked as checked out or locked.
