PublishPress Revisions v3.9: WooCommerce Revisions
This post is about a release of the PublishPress Revisions plugin. This plugin allows you safely manage changes to published posts in WordPress. You can approve all changes to posts and even schedule them to go live on a specific day.
PublishPress Revisions v3.9.0 makes revision workflows more useful for stores and editorial teams.
The biggest addition is support for WooCommerce Past Revisions. Every time you update a WooCommerce product, you can save a copy of those changes. By default, this does not happen in WooCommerce.

Save changes to WooCoomerce products
With PublishPress Revisions Pro, you can review and preserve WooCommerce changes. This will include all the custom fields that make up a WooCommerce product. This screenshot shows a revision for a WooCommerce product. On the right side of the screenshot you can see changes to the product prices.
Enable this feature by going to Revisions > Settings and checking the “Products” box under “Past Revisions“:
Decline revisions faster
You can use the new Decline button in the Edit Revision sidebar to reject proposed changes without hunting for another action.
Revision editor color option
You can now change the Revision Editor background color to help reviewers distinguish the revision workspace from regular editing. To change this color, go to Revisions > Setting > New Revisions > Submission.
Front end page indicator
Published posts can now show an indicator when revisions have been created, helping teams notice pending work while browsing the site.
Other changes
This release also includes stability fixes and cleanup work, with security related maintenance included in the update.
- Past Revisions on activation: New installs now redirect to the Past Revisions screen on first activation, making it easier to find the core workflow immediately.
- Fatal error prevention: The plugin now handles an invalid post value passed to the revisions retention check more safely.
- Post Copy fix: Copying posts no longer fails with a fatal error before plugin settings are saved again.
- Sidebar layout cleanup: Misaligned elements in the Revision Editor sidebar have been corrected.
- Status filter count fix: The New Revisions All filter count is no longer doubled when PublishPress Statuses Pro is active.
- Cleaner submenu counts: A redundant counter on the Revision submenu item has been removed.
If your site uses WooCommerce, PublishPress Statuses Pro, or a review workflow with multiple editors, this is a worthwhile update to schedule promptly.
