Prepare changes to published content

PublishPress Revisions Pro gives WordPress teams a way to work on updates before they go live. Users can create a revision for a published post, page, product, or other supported post type, then edit it in the familiar WordPress interface, including Gutenberg and the Classic Editor. Saving the work as a pending revision sends it to the Revision Queue for review.

Review revisions in context

The Revision Queue brings submitted changes together. Reviewers can edit, delete, preview, or compare a revision with the current or a former version. Comparisons can show changes to post content, categories, tags, featured images, page parents, and other settings.

Revisions can also be previewed and moderated from the front end of the site. A toolbar indicates status: pending revisions appear with a green toolbar, while scheduled revisions use grey.

Approve changes or set a publication date

After review, an authorized user can approve or reject a revision. To publish an update later, choose a future date and pick the schedule option. The revision is then set to publish at that time.

Administrators and Editors receive email notifications when a revision is submitted. The extension can also send emails when revisions are approved or published, and its options let administrators disable unwanted notifications.

Use supported add-ons and content types

Pro integrations include Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), Yoast SEO, Pods, WooCommerce, WPML, Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi, Avada, Breakdance, Bricks, SeedProd, SiteOrigin Page Builder, and WPBakery, along with other extensions and themes.

For WooCommerce products, customers can submit revisions for review and schedule product updates. Key product fields are supported; compatibility for fields added by third-party WooCommerce plugins should be tested. ACF fields can be included in revision comparisons, and Yoast SEO data is retained through the approval process. WPML supports separate revisions for translated content. Elementor and Beaver Builder content can be revised through their editors and managed in the Revision Queue.

Control who can submit and moderate

PublishPress Revisions works with default WordPress roles and includes a Revisor role. Contributors can submit revisions to their own published posts, while Revisors can submit revisions to posts and pages published by others. Authors, Editors, and Administrators can approve revisions or schedule their own revisions. With PublishPress Permissions Pro, permissions can be customized by role or user for specific posts, categories, or taxonomy terms.

3. Save the revision to the Revision Queue for review.
4. Preview or compare it, and edit or delete it if needed.
5. Approve or reject the revision, or select a future date and schedule it.
