What is Revisions?
‘Revisions’ are multiple versions of the same content type. Whenever a content type is set to draft or published, it creates a ‘Revision’. When that content type is edited and saved, a latest version is created as well as a ‘Revision’.
This means you can compare old and new content as well track changes with a date, time and user stamp.
If you want to bulk delete revisions, you can!
Important: A new revision is only created when a content type is set to draft or published in the workflow.
