TFS 2018

This article shows you how to view the revision history of a wiki page in Azure DevOps. It also provides information on how to revert changes made to a wiki page.

Prerequisites

  • You must have the permission Create Repository to publish code as wiki. By default, this permission is set for members of the Project Administrators group.
  • Anyone who is a member of the Contributors security group can add or edit wiki pages. Anyone with access to the team project, including stakeholders, can view the wiki.

  2. Select More actions > View revisions.

  4. Similar to any git file revision, the revision details page provides a Show diff side-by-side view or the Show diff inline view. Choose Preview to see the content of the page of the specific revision.
