=== 2. Select the version of the page you want by timestamp === Now you should be looking at something called a "revision history" for the original page. There's a bunch of stuff, but the main thing we're interested in is the list of things going down the middle of the page. Each of the items in this list is a previous revision of the article you were looking at a moment ago. Each row corresponds to one revision and includes some useful information such as the timestamp for when the edit was saved, the username of the editor who saved it (if applicable), the length of the article in bytes after the revision (and the length of the revision in parentheses), as well as any edit summary text that the editor entered at the time they saved the revision. [[File:Seneca_falls_convention_viewhistory-20200212.png|thumb|center|2. What you see after you click "View history". Notice that the previous revisions are organized in reverse-chronological order. Also notice that each revision has a timestamp associated with it (a column near the left) and that you can click on any of the timestamps to view the revision in question.]] Assuming the page looked okay to you when you clicked "View history" a moment ago, the version you want is the most recent one right at the top of the list (the revisions are organized in reverse chronological order by default). Go ahead and click the timestamp for this revision.
