Content Entry Revisions

In Webiny, each modification in a content entry that is saved or published is stored as a separate revision. In this tutorial, we will learn how to create multiple revisions of a content entry and publish a specific revision. We will also learn how to create a new content entry version from a previous revision. As an example, we will use the Product content model that we created in the Create Content Model tutorial.

We will do this in 3 steps:

• Step 1: Create a content entry in the Product content model and make multiple revisions.
• Step 2: Publish a previous revision of the content entry.
• Step 3: Create a new content entry version from a previous revision.

Step 1: Create a Content Entry and Its Revisions

If you are not familiar with how to create a content entry, please follow the Create Content Entry tutorial.

1. Create a content entry in the Product content model with the following attributes:

   Field	Value
   Name	Men’s Blue T-Shirt
   Description	Half Sleeved, Regular fit, Cotton blend, Blue T-shirt for Men
   Price	15
   Category	Clothes

   Note: If you haven’t added the Category field to the Product content model, skip it (or add it by following the Reference Field tutorial).

2. Now, update the Name and Description textboxes with the following values:

   Field	Value
   Name	Men’s Solid Blue T-Shirt
   Description	Half Sleeved, Regular fit, Cotton blend, Solid, Blue T-shirt for Men

3. Click SAVE & PUBLISH.

   Note: Clicking SAVE will create a new version of the content entry with updated field values and save it as a draft. Whereas clicking SAVE & PUBLISH will create a new version and publish it.

4. Create another revision by updating the Name and Description textboxes with the following values:

   Field	Value
   Name	Men’s Solid Round Neck Blue T-Shirt
