How to Undo an edit on a Page

Have you ever hit save and messed up the look of a website page?  Here is how you can easily undo something that you didn't mean to do.  Most areas in the backend of your website have a revisions section.  This revisions section allows you to scroll backwards in time and revert back to a previously saved version of your website page.
