Magnolia versions pages, assets and contacts by default when they are published and unpublished. You can also configure versioning for any other content type.

Info

A fresh Magnolia installation does not have versioned content. Demo content is bootstrapped and immediately marked as "published". You see a green publication status icon but no publication has actually happened.

(warning) Versioning is functionally usable only on the admin instance, where you can use it to restore and republish an older version of some content. In case you wanted to let the visitors of your site browse through and see historic versions of, for example, a terms and conditions page, you would have to develop custom code for this feature.

Info

In a new installation of the Magnolia bundle all demo pages, assets and contacts do not have versions even though the status indicator is green (published). This is because the content is marked as published when bootstrapped into the web applications, but no actual publication has taken place at this point in time. The available versions actions remain inactive until actual versions are created by publishing, unpublishing or deleting.
