The developments in SharePoint and the introduction of modern SharePoint pages has done a major contribution to simplifying the editing process in SharePoint.
The small widget like webparts and texts in pages are quite simple as even a small child can manage it with ease.
However, when things are really simple it can somehow become messed up. Widgets or texts can actually get deleted easily by small mistake and you might not even notice that change.
This article will help you concentrate on edits and how to recover if anything is accidentally lost by mistake.
Restore the texts/webparts before publishing
If you accidentally deleted a webpart or changed the layout while editing the page, you can easily go back to the previous state by clicking the undo button at the top beside the save button. Clicking the undo button will revert the accidentally made changes to the previous state.This should be done before publishing the page.

Step 2: Then go to Site Pages library. Site Pages library is a library that stores all the pages on that site collection.
Step 3: Find the page you recently published from the site page library and click on the ellipse button to check for version history.
Step 4: Here in the version history you will be able to see all the published versions of that page. Find the version you want to restore and click restore it. You can also delete versions from here.
