Description

Revision adds revision tracking to Meta Box custom fields, copying values to each post revision, displaying differences on the native comparison screen, and restoring data when a revision is recovered. The extension serves sites with many custom fields, groups, or cloneable fields, helping editorial teams and developers audit changes that standard WordPress does not record for metadata.

Main Features

  • Automatic copying
    Replicates custom field values when saving a new revision.
  • Comparison in admin
    Displays changes below the title and content on the revisions screen.
  • Metadata restoration
    Retrieves custom field values when restoring a selected revision.
  • Support for groups
    Handles cloneable fields and groups using JSON data format.
  • Activation by configuration
    Enables revisions by setting the revision parameter to true.

Benefits of Revision

  • Editorial audit
    Shows changes in critical data of pages, posts, and projects.
  • Less data loss
    Allows recovery of metadata accidentally changed in the editorial workflow.
  • Control for teams
    Facilitates review of changes when multiple users edit content.
  • More operational security
    Reduces risks on pages that depend on custom fields.

Who Is It Recommended For?

  • Developers who use Meta Box to structure custom fields.
  • Editorial teams that need to track changes in metadata.
  • Sites with landing pages, projects, or content based on custom fields.

As an additional module of Meta Box, the Revision addon fits custom metadata into the revision workflow already known from WordPress. This helps treat fields as a real part of the content, not as invisible parallel information, maintaining history, comparison, and restoration in the same process used for title and post body.
