<p>This plugin adds a minor bit of workflow to the WordPress interface. When anyone edits a post or a page that has already been published, a few extra options will be available in the “Publish” metabox. Any time the appropriate option is chosen, the changes will be saved as a revision to the page or post, and the previous revision (the version that was already published) will remain published.</p>
<p>The person editing the page can choose from the following four options:</p>
<ul>
<li>Publish these modifications normally – This will avoid running any of the functions in this plugin and publish the changes the way they would normally be published. This is always the default.</li>
<li>Save these changes as a revision, but don’t notify anyone – This will revert the page or post to the version that was already published, saving the modifications as a post revision. This will not send out any notification emails.</li>
<li>Save these revisions as a draft and notify reviewer – This will revert the page or post to the version that was already published, saving the modifications as a post revision. This will also send out an email message to the email address entered in the options.</li>
<li>Publish these modifications, but notify a reviewer that changes were made – This will publish the changes normally, but will still dispatch a notification message to the email address provided.</li>
</ul>
<p>If the third or fourth option is selected, a box will appear asking the user to provide an email address (or multiple addresses separated by commas) to which to send the notification message. If that box is left empty, the plugin will attempt to retrieve the value of the “dpn_reviewers” option from the individual site. If that option doesn’t exist, the “dpn_reviewers” option will be retrieved from the network (if installed in a multisite environment). You can edit those options in the Settings -> Writing and Network Admin -> Settings -> Network Settings (multisite) screens within the administrative area. If neither of those options exist, the email address of the site’s admin will be used.</p>
<h3>To Do</h3>
<ol>
<li>Include multi-network activation options</li>
<li>Implement the ability to add this functionality to custom post types</li>
</ol>
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<ol>
<li>The interface to review and approve modifications (the default revision comparison built into WordPress) is not extremely user-friendly. Some training will most likely be necessary to teach reviewers how to identify and approve the appropriate revisions.</li>
<li>If multiple reviewers are notified of modifications, there is no easy way to let them all know when one of them reviews and approves (or potentially rejects) the changes.</li>
<li>There is no interface currently available to delete revisions, which means there is no way (other than taking no action at all) to actually reject any changes.</li>
<li>When a post is revised multiple times before the revisions are approved, the changes begin to cascade.</li>
</ol>


Post Revision Workflow

Allows anyone editing a published page or post to draft changes before those modifications go public.

<p>On a busy site you can’t afford to make changes to <em>live</em>, <em>published</em> posts without reviewing and approving them first. <strong>Revisionize</strong> clones your post, page or CPT to a draft that gives you the freedom to tweak, edit and experiment with the content. Preview your drafted changes and/or <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/public-post-preview/" rel="ugc">share the preview</a> with a 3rd party to approve the changes. When you’re happy, publish the revision, which will copy your content changes to the original post. Alternatively, schedule the revision to publish your content at a specific time.</p>

</ul>
<h4>Known Issues</h4>
<ul>
<li>Gutenberge. Revisionize is not compatible with the default Gutenberg editor. You must install the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/" rel="ugc">Classic Editor</a> plugin. </li>
<li>WP Recipe Maker. There have been reported issues that indicate Revisionize does not work with this plugin. However, we could not verify these reports. Use at your own risk. </li>
<li>Some plugins store content in their own database tables, which Revisionize knows nothing about. It’s possible that publishing a revision will not save changes for these types of plugins. Revisionize will only work with content stored in the <code>wp_posts</code> and <code>wp_postmeta</code> tables. </li>

Revisionize

This plugin solves a problem with approval workflow that has plagued WordPress for a long, long time. Kudos for providing the community with a solution, and congratulations on the perfect review scores!

Excellent plugin

We have a workflow requirement where content is updated on a weekly basis and should be published on a Saturday evening on the same page/URL. Without this plugin, it would mean having to manually do it every time... on a Saturday evening... which is not fun. With this plugin, we can even set up scheduled content for weeks to come. Kudos!

Excellent workflow solution!

Draft up revisions of live, published content. The live content doesn't change until you publish the revision manually or with the scheduling sys …
