What happens
Section titled “What happens”- Your assistant lists normal saved revisions and reads the one you choose.

- It restores the title, content and excerpt, then reads them back. Published changes require approval at Standard.
Try also
Section titled “Try also”- “Restore the previous version of my draft post.”
- “Inspect the recovery revision from that restoration.”
Good to know
Section titled “Good to know”- Requires AI Puffer 2.5.15 or later and WordPress revisions enabled, retaining at least two versions or unlimited history.
- The status, URL, author, dates, categories, tags, featured image and current metadata stay unchanged. It does not restore old SEO or ACF metadata.
- Tested with classic content and supported core-block markup. Arbitrary builders, unsafe content and autosave restoration are excluded.
- Conflicting edits, editor locks or newer autosaves stop restoration. Restoring content already identical uses no website action.
