Recovering older versions of your pages
All of your editing changes are stored in a compressed chronological log on
the server. If you ever need to go back to a previous revision of a page to
look something up or perhaps grab a portion of content which no longer exists
on the page, it is possible.
First, you can view the raw FTX code for any FTX page by appending .ftx to
the URL. For example, if you are viewing the page
http://www.lugnet.com/~1234/foo/bar/gort
then you can also view that page’s FTX source by loading this URL:
http://www.lugnet.com/~1234/foo/bar/gort.ftx
Similarly, you can view any revision of a any FTX page by appending $
followed by the revision number, for example:
http://www.lugnet.com/~1234/foo/bar/gort$1
http://www.lugnet.com/~1234/foo/bar/gort$2
http://www.lugnet.com/~1234/foo/bar/gort$3
and so forth. You can omit the revision number if you would like to review a
chronological list of revisions, for example:
http://www.lugnet.com/~1234/foo/bar/gort$
Finally, you can append .ftx to an older revision’s URL if you would like to
review the raw FTX code for an older revision, for example:
http://www.lugnet.com/~1234/foo/bar/gort$1.ftx
http://www.lugnet.com/~1234/foo/bar/gort$2.ftx
http://www.lugnet.com/~1234/foo/bar/gort$3.ftx
