- The plugin is used to check the front-end preview of the older content revisions of a page/post, just as the preview mode is used in a current draft.
- Upon going to the revisions list, a preview button will be available to preview exactly how a page or post appeared in the selected version.
- Note: This has also been submitted as a feature in the core ticket. Once this gets merged into the core, you will no longer need the plugin.
- To enable editors to check and restore the previous content, whenever needed, WordPress has a handy
revisionsfeature. - However, the current limitation of the revisions feature is the lack of a
previewoption. While checking a previous revision, the editors can only see the content changes in the draft, but not the visual appearance of how it renders over the front end. - To address the same, we have developed the
WordPress Preview Revisionsplugin, which enables the preview option for every revision, empowering the editors to take an informed call on what to restore.
