# Document actions

## Overview

For each document there are certain actions you can perform. You can open the document actions in the following ways:

* On the *Documents* page, select a document and, in the toolbar, expand *Actions*.
* On *Document properties* page, click ![More options](https://www.progress.com/documentation/sitefinity-cms/assets/0e9741d42a5cb932c548b5496d5ba8bd/more-options.jpg "More options") *(More options)* in the upper-right corner of the page.

## Single document operations

With each document you can do the following:

* *Unpublish* the document
* *Schedule publish/unpublish* of the document\
  Set a date and time when the document should be published and/or unpublished.
* *Embed* the document\
  By clicking *Embed*, you can view links and code snippets, which you can use to link or embed the document.
* *Download* the document
* View the *Revision history*\
  You can use revision history to compare all editions of an item. You can revert to a previous version. For example, if you are editing a published document, the system saves a draft of that document, but the published version is still visible on the webpage. To see which version is the currently published one, see [Revision history of content and media items](https://www.progress.com/documentation/sitefinity-cms/revision-history-of-content-and-media-items-dp).
* View where the document is published\
  To see all pages where the document is published, click *Pages displaying this item*. The page on the top of the list is the default page. For more information about viewing and setting default pages, see [Canonical URLs](https://www.progress.com/documentation/sitefinity-cms/locations-of-content-items-canonical-urls).

  If you are using an approval workflow, Sitefinity CMS displays different buttons, depending on the type of workflow that is activated. For more information, see [Actions available in a workflow](https://www.progress.com/documentation/sitefinity-cms/actions-available-in-a-workflow).
