I made some modifications in a page a using SPDesigner 2013. When I try to open the page I get an error, so I want to revert back to a previous version. When I try to go back to a previous version in SharePoint Designer, however, I get the error:

Versions cannot be accessed at this time because server is busy .Please try again later.

How can I fix this and/or access my version history to restore a previous version of my page?

You can get around this error in SharePoint Designer by checking out the file and then clicking on the file name to go to the Page Summary view:

SP Designer 2013 Page Summary view

From there, you can select a prior version to restore:
