Restoring an Earlier Version of a Page Layout 453<br />

Restoring an Earlier Version of a Page Layout<br />

All page layouts are stored in the Master Page gallery at the top-level site of a site collection.<br />

This library has versioning enabled, which means you can restore a previous<br />

version of a page layout if you decide that your current modifications do not meet your<br />

business needs or you want to start modifying your page layout by using a previous<br />

version.<br />

In this exercise, you restore an earlier version of a page layout.<br />

SET UP In SharePoint Designer, open the publishing site you created at the start of<br />

this chapter if it is not already open.<br />

1. On the Navigation pane, click All Files, and then click Pages.<br />

The All Files gallery page for the Pages library is displayed in the workspace.<br />

2. Click the icon to the left of HR-Manager-EMEA.aspx, and on the All Files tab,<br />

click Open in the Edit group.<br />

Open<br />

A Microsoft SharePoint Designer dialog box opens, stating that you cannot edit the<br />

page in SharePoint Designer but that you can edit the corresponding page layout.<br />

3. Click Edit Page Layout.<br />

4. If your page layout is checked in, a Microsoft SharePoint Designer dialog box<br />

opens stating that the file is under source control. Click Yes to check it out.<br />

The Microsoft SharePoint Designer dialog box closes. A Microsoft SharePoint<br />

Designer dialog box opens, stating that the page does not contain any regions that<br />

are editable in safe mode.<br />

5. Click Yes to open the page in advanced edit mode.<br />

If you are working on a subsite of a site collection, a new SharePoint Designer window<br />

opens at the site-collection level. The JobVacancies.aspx page opens in a separate<br />

workspace tab.<br />

6. In the workspace breadcrumb, click the arrow to the right of JobVacancies.aspx,<br />

and click Version History.<br />

The version history for JobVacancies.aspx is displayed.
