The description of what changed wasn’t always helpful if you were trying to get back to a version of a page prior to changes. Now with the SharePoint page difference visualization feature in version history, it’s easy to see what version you need to restore. Here’s how it works…
Audience Targeting in SharePoint Online navigation links
