Page history & revision restore

Every time you save a page, tela snapshots the previous body as a revision. Revisions let you see what changed, compare any two versions, and recover content you edited away.

View revision history

Open a page and click History in the page header (the clock icon). The history panel lists every revision: who saved it, when, and how many bytes changed.

Revisions are sourced and labelled:

• manual — saved by a team member in the editor
• agent — written by an AI agent over MCP
• sync — synced from a vault file over WebDAV/rclone

Compare a revision

Click any revision in the list to see a diff against the current page body. Added lines are highlighted green; removed lines are red.

Restore a prior version

tela doesn't overwrite the current page with a one-click restore — instead it uses an Open as draft flow so you can review the old content before committing:

1. Find the revision you want in the history panel.
2. Click the revision to expand its diff.
3. Click Open as draft (visible to space owners and editors).
4. The editor opens with that revision's body pre-filled.
5. Review or adjust, then click Save to commit. This creates a new revision — the page history is never rewritten.

[!TIP] If you want to restore a specific section rather than the whole page, open the revision diff alongside the editor and copy-paste the section you need.

Export & data portability

To export a full space as markdown files (including all uploaded attachments), go to Space settings → Export and download the .zip. Each page becomes a .md file in a folder tree that mirrors the page hierarchy; attachments land in <page-slug>/_attachments/ next to their page.
