Why Versioning Matters
Without versioning, every edit is permanent. One accidental paste-over can destroy an entire post. Version history stores every revision so you can compare changes and rollback to any previous version.
What to Version
- Content body (every save creates a revision)
- Title and metadata changes
- Status changes (draft → published → archived)
- Author and permission changes
Implementation
Store revisions in a separate table linked to the post. Each revision captures the full content state, author, timestamp, and change description. RankFlo automatically creates revisions on every update.
