1. Select File > Revert.
A dialog box asks if you want to discard your changes, and revert to the previously saved version.
2. Click Yes to revert to the previous version; click No to keep your changes.
If you save a document, and then exit Dreamweaver, you cannot revert to the previous version of the document when you restart
Dreamweaver.
Set default document type and encoding
You can define which document type is used as a default document for a site.
For example, if most pages in your site are of a specific file type (such as Cold Fusion, HTML, or ASP documents), you can set document
preferences that automatically create new documents of the specified file type.
1. Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh).
You can also click the Preferences button in the New Document dialog box to set new document preferences when you create a new
document.
2. Click New Document from the category list on the left.
3. Set or change preferences as necessary, and click OK to save them.
Select a document type that will be used for pages that you create.
Specify the file extension you prefer (.htm or .html) for new HTML pages you create.
Note: This option is disabled for other file types.
Select one of the XHTML document type definitions (DTD) to make new pages XHTML-compliant. For
example, you can make an HTML document XHTML-compliant by selecting XHTML 1.0 Transitional or XHTML 1.0 Strict from the menu.
Specify the encoding to be used when a new page is created, as well as when a document is opened that does not
specify any encoding.
If you select Unicode (UTF-8) as the document encoding, entity encoding is not necessary because UTF-8 can safely represent all
characters. If you select another document encoding, entity encoding may be necessary to represent certain characters. For more
information on character entities, see
www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html .
If you select Unicode (UTF-8) as a default encoding, you can include a Byte Order Mark (BOM) in the document by selecting the Include
Unicode Signature (BOM) option.
A BOM is 2-4 bytes at the beginning of a text file that identifies a file as Unicode, as well as the byte order of the following bytes. Because
UTF-8 has no byte order, adding a UTF-8 BOM is optional. For UTF-16 and UTF-32, it is required.
Select one of these options if you select Unicode (UTF-8) as a default encoding.
There are four Unicode Normalization Forms. The most important is Normalization Form C because it's the most common one used in the
Character Model for the World Wide Web. Adobe provides the other three Unicode Normalization Forms for completeness.
Deselect this option (“on Command+N” for Macintosh) to automatically create a
document of the default document type when you use the key command.
