“The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision – what was added, what remained unchanged, and what was removed. Lines added or removed are highlighted, and individual character changes get additional highlighting.”

Revisions can be nice to have, but having a lot of revisions may slow down your website. So disabling them can help keep your website fast.
With Companion Revision Manager you can take back control over revisions!
This plugin tells you how many revisions are currently st…
Does what it says. My experience is that the Delete xxxx Revisions button still has the number in it after you click it, and you have to load the page again to see there are no excess revisions.
Keeps revisions under control. Cheers.
