When you remove Whatfix content or widget from Production, it moves back to the Draft stage. If a version of this content is present in the Ready stage, it also moves back to Draft and any changes made to this content reverts. However, you can restore these changes in the Draft stage.

Here's an orientation video on Content Versioning:

Version Panel

The version panel shows all the versions of a particular content or widget, when each version was updated, and which user each version was updated by. You can preview any version as a PDF and restore a version from the version panel.
