## Beschreibung

BU Versions is a WordPress plugin that adds new workflows to WordPress that make
it possible to create, review, and schedule changes to published content with ease.

With BU Versions, you can clone any published post in WordPress (page, post, or 
custom post type) to edit and save an alternate version of the post without replacing
the public content. You can make multiple edits over any timeframe, all done “behind
the scenes” without disruptive or unreviewed changes to the live content. This enables
a publishing workflow for edits to content that need to be reviewed and approved
before being re-published. Once ready, publishing your version will replace the 
original post.

The plugin was written by [Boston University IS&T](http://www.bu.edu/tech) staff
with design and UX support from the [Interactive Design](http://www.bu.edu/id) group
in Marketing & Communications.

#### Features

 * An alternate version can be created for each post or page.
 * Revision history is accessible for the alternate version.
 * Supports custom post types automatically.
 * Supports the cloning of post meta data.

## FAQ

  I’m a plugin developer and my plugin utilizes custom post meta boxes. How do I
get them to show up while editing alternate versions?

The plugin provides a filter which allows you to register support for your custom
features for the alternate version post types.

Please see our Github wiki page to learn [how to register alternate version support](https://github.com/bu-ist/bu-versions/wiki/Adding-Post-Meta-Support-for-Alternate-Versions)
for your plugin metaboxes.
