  The endpoints follow your typical REST crud pattern. The typical process would be to list the versions first via

  GET /versions

  then perform a restore with

  POST /versions/:id

  to the specific

  id

  you want to restore. The

  id

  being the unique identifier for the version that you'd like to restore.

  
  

  
  

  What can I help clarify beyond that?

  Thank you for that, this is clear. I'm thinking how versions get created, at which point exactly and are the objects in the _versions table (mongo collection) always a version behind or does _versions maintain an exact replica of what is in the main table.

  
  

  I ask this because I want to restore to a previous version (exactly one save behind) and so should I select the last version doc or one before that as the last one is a replica of the current one.

  The versions endpoint will return previous versions

  and the latest

  version

  
  
  

  The query against the versions endpoint would look something like this:

  /api/draft-posts/versions?depth=1&where[parent][equals]=644290b95310ad615bc1ffea

  . You can also open up your Network tab while browsing around the Versions page in the Admin UI to see this.

  
  

  
  

  I don't recall if they're strictly ordered on the response, so you could also pass in something like

  sort=-createdAt

  to sort the response.
