Contentstack allows users to create multiple entry and asset versions of the content.

Video: Versioning

The following video provides an overview of how versioning works in Contentstack.

Understanding with an example

Entry Versioning:

• It helps users to view, manage, and compare the content of the required versions.

• By default, entry versions are identified with numbers. For each new version created (upon entry save), the version is incremented  (e.g., Version 1, Version 2, and so on).

Asset Versioning:

• When you update an asset by changing the file, title, description, or tags, Contentstack creates a new asset version. This allows you to view the asset's previously saved/published versions, get the publishing details (who published it, when, and where), consider the older version, and restore the earlier version if required.

• By default, asset versions are identified with numbers (e.g., Version 1, Version 2).

For easy identification, you can re-assign/rename a version name (e.g., Christmas Sale, Production Ready, Do Not Edit) to an entry/asset version.

• Versioning is a great feature to keep track of all content update history and is helpful for editors to hassle-free roll back to previous versions.

• Users can assign proper names to each version, according to their choice, for easy identification.
  Example: You can set ‘Friday Sale’ as a version name for entry with Content of Promotion which could be scheduled for a specific duration and can be rollback to the previous version.
