Solved: module for content revisions

[gebeer]

Hi there,

I am looking for a module that can handle revision scenarios.

Usecase:

User role foo can edit content. After content changes user role bar needs to approve the edit before it goes live. It is important that changes to already published pages can be handled, too. For new, unpublished pages the PW permission system can do that. But other CMSs like TYPO3 or WordPress can handle multiple content versions and revisions. Hope that something like this exists for PW, too.

I found @teppo's https://processwire.com/modules/version-control/ which likely will be needed as prerequisite to handle edits of existing pages that are already published. But couldn't find any revision related modules.

EDIT: found a pro module that sounds like it can do what I need: https://processwire.com/talk/store/category/11-prodrafts/

Definitely sounds like a job for ProDrafts. Version Control keeps track of changes after they've occurred, but there's no (automatic) way to put them on hold and apply after some action/trigger.

In theory one could restore the page to previous revision automatically and step "forward" again once changes are approved, but that would get very complicated very fast, and going back and forth could also result in "conflicts" where updates applied meanwhile would simply get discarded. Anyway, that's not something I would recommend doing ?
