NP_Revision.php

Everytime you make a change to a story, the older version will be lost forever. This plugin will change this. If you make a change to a story a new revision of that story will be created and that revision will be the default revision that is shown to visitors, but all the other revisions must still be available. You are able to quickly and easily see the changes between revisions and are able to revert back to an older revision in case you do not like one of the changes you have made.

1. Unzip the file and upload the contents to your plugin directory
2. Install the plugin…

Every time you make a change to a story it will store that change and assign a revision number to that change. For example, the first draft you create for a story will have the revision number of 0.1, the next time you make a change the number will be increased to 0.2, then to 0.3 and so on. If you publish your draft the revision number will be increased to 1.0 and once again, every additional change will increase the revision number. The beauty of this system is that every older revision will still be available.
