The built-in version management system makes it possible to undo unwanted changes. This can be done by reverting the contents of an object back to a previous version. In eZ Publish all content is version controlled. Every time you edit an object, a new version (a copy of the existing content) will be created. The existing version will remain untouched. The versions can be administered using the version management interface which can be reached from the object edit interface.

The following image shows what the version management interface looks like.
