Hi Jon

You can use the ContentService to retrieve an IContent item representing a specific version of the content, from the database

var cs = Services.ContentService;
var specificVersion = cs.GetByVersion(Guid versionId);

However your existing views will likely be working with IPublishedContent, rather than IContent.

Jeroen Breuer wrote an article about converting IContent to IPublishedContent for edge cases...

He's created an extension method called ToPublishedContent() in this gist

https://gist.github.com/jbreuer/dde3605035179c34b7287850c45cb8c9

so after retrieving your specific version using the content service, you could probably use this trick to turn it into IPublishedContent and work with your existing templates to generate a view of what the content looked like in the earlier version.

Thanks a lot for this.

Is it then possible to create a HTML webpage from IPublishedContent.

For example, should I call the function that I create IPublishedContent via JQuery or someway else?

The render of the page needs to be dynamic so I cant pre code the page layout.

The RENDERTEMPLATE result is ideally the return that I desire but instead of passing in the PageId I would pass in the Version GUID.
