Meta Box Revision 1.3.10

Meta Box Revision is a WordPress plugin that extends the built-in revisions system to cover custom fields, so you can track exactly what changed between post revisions. Instead of only seeing updates to the post title and post content, it records edits for your custom data as well.

It helps you save, compare, and restore revision data with clear visual highlights, including lines added or removed and character-level changes where applicable. This makes it easier to review work safely when pages rely on structured fields, meta values, or complex inputs.

For sites built with Meta Box workflows and rich custom data, the plugin is especially useful when multiple users collaborate in the WordPress admin. It provides peace of mind by letting you validate edits before they affect outcomes that depend on custom field values.

Main Features

• Tracks custom field changes — Records how custom fields change across post revisions.
• Save revision data — Stores custom field values as part of revision history.
• Compare revisions — Lets you review what was added, changed, left unchanged, or removed.
• Restore previous revisions — Restores custom field data using the “Restore This Revision” action.
• Highlights edits clearly — Shows visible differences between revisions, including added/removed lines.
• Character-level highlighting — Highlights individual character changes to speed up review.
• Supports all field types — Works across Meta Box field types, including complex inputs.
• Supports groups — Tracks changes inside group fields, not just simple meta values.

Benefits

• Fewer accidental changes — Review revision differences before publishing custom field updates.
• Safer collaboration — Reduce confusion when multiple users edit the same WordPress content.
• Better data integrity — Detect unintended removals or overwrites of important custom data.
• Faster decision-making — Quickly identify who changed what and whether it should be restored.
• More reliable UX — Keep page outputs consistent when layouts and logic depend on custom fields.
