Magnolia versions pages, assets and contacts by default when they are published and unpublished.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

...

The versioning functionality is enhanced by the Diff module that adds diff and redlining capabilities. (warning) The Diff module is not yet available in the CE, but will be in an future release of Magnolia 5.

By default, versions are created when pages, assets and contacts are published, unpublished and restored in the related apps. Versions are also created in these apps for the purpose of restoring items prior to deletion. For more information see Deleting and restoring.

Versioning can be enabled by configuration for any content app. 

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.

You can enable versioning in a content app by triggering the activate/deactivate command chains in the versions catalog instead of the activate/deactivate commands in the default catalog. Here is the process to enable versioning in the Categories app.

  • cookies: You can specify any number of custom session cookie names to forward.
  • headers: The default value is none. By adding a  headers config node you can specify any number of headers to be sent to the diff servlet thereby automatically excluding any headers that are not specified.
  • host and port : The default host and port is localhost and 8080. However, the Diff module will work even if you change the default Tomcat port. This means that you can use the diff functionality against another server.

The CompareVersionsAction and CompareToPreviousVersionAction open the diff subapp (see below) configured in the Pages app. The action definitions are configured in the Configuration app > /modules/pages/apps/pages/subApps/browser/actions.
