Hi Jon,

What are you trying to do ? In the backoffice there is the rollback function where you can get the previous version of a document,

Hi,

I have used Episerver in the past in version 6 R2 they have a really helpful Version Comparison feature where the user can view the current version with a past version of the page. The view is of the actual page and not the markup or JSON/XML. It is nice and clear and highlights the differences between the two versions. Normally used by non-technical users or people who translate the pages and need to quickly see what the text changes are.

I was hoping I could create something similar for our project as this would be incredibly helpful and hoped there was a way I could do this.

Thanks

Jon

I agree, I've checked in the DLL to see how a preview page is generated.

public class Preview : UmbracoEnsuredPage
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Document documentObject = new Document(base.Request.GetItemAs<int>("id"));
        PreviewContent content = new PreviewContent(base.UmbracoUser, Guid.NewGuid(), false);
        content.PrepareDocument(base.UmbracoUser, documentObject, true);
        content.SavePreviewSet();
        this.docLit.Text = documentObject.Text;
        this.changeSetUrl.Text = content.PreviewsetPath;
        content.ActivatePreviewCookie();
        base.Response.Redirect("../../" + documentObject.Id.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) + ".aspx", true);
    }
}

From what I gather this create a new entry in the previewXml table and redirects you to the page with it's template.

If instead of using SavePreviewSet could we not load LoadPreviewSet and pass in the Guid of the previous version?

Can anyone clarify how this works?

Thanks
