  Hi,

  I went in to change a widget and hit publish and now all the text and photo on the about page is gone. Is there a way to retrieve what the page looked like before without recreating it? Can I go back to last save?
  Thanks for any help you can give.

  One cannot restore a web site back to a specific date and time like one restores a computer. We simply undo what we did or we do it again.

  I didn’t trash it, I saved a blank page over it. Is that reversible?
  Thanks for your help so far.

  Hi there,

  Which page exactly is it? I don’t see a page titled “About” on your site.

  The editor saves revisions, so you might be able to restore a previous version from there. Go to My Site ->Pages and edit the page. Click where it says PUBLISHED {date}. That should reveal the revisions option. Click that, select the previous version you want, and restore.
