From the developer
Globalis's own description of Prepare New Version, lightly tidied.
Sometimes happiness is about small things. What about being able to prepare a new version of your content while its original is still online?
Anticipating and preparing the next version of an article which is already online can quickly become a tedious and risky task. Indeed, most publishers will create a brand new post, fill it in, publish it once it’s ready and finally disable the original article.
Basic features:
- creation of a new version of an article in 1 click;
- direct access to other pending versions of an article;
- update of an article to its new version in 1 click.
Advanced features:
- duplication of an article into a brand new independent copy;
- hookable 😉
- works with any post types, custom or not
- makes coffee (we’re still working on that)
