If you made an un-wanted change, you can revert it to whatever state you previously had it. Just click on the 'Configure' button bellow your place's description. Also, when you [[Visit]] someone else's Place, or someone visits your Place, they cannot save the changes that are made, unless the owner saves it. To undo accidental changes, you can roll back the version of the place using "Configure this place"/Version history.
