Introducing versioning

Now that you have learned how to add various types of content, from pages to events to news items, we're ready to introduce a feature of Plone called versioning, which is an important part of content management. The content items you work with in your Plone site may go through many changes over time. Plone provides versioning information to help you manage your content from the time it was initially created through to the current version.

By default, Plone provides versioning for the following content types:

  • Pages
  • News Items
  • Events
  • Links

Other content types can be configured to provide versioning through the Plone Control Panel under Types. You can read more about this in Chapter 12.

Note

Although you may enable the File type to use versioning, the only changes that are tracked are those items actually describing the File (for example, Title, Description, and so on). The changes to the contents of the File are not tracked.
