Revision Control is a plugin for WordPress which gives the user more control over the Revision functionality.
The plugin allows the user to set a site-global setting (Settings -> Revisions) for pages/posts to enable/disable/limit the number of revisions which are saved for the page/post. The user may change this setting on a per-page/post basis from the Revisions Meta box.
The plugin also allows the deletion of specific revisions via the Revisions post metabox.

I’ve just started with WordPress after moving from Tiki. Tiki offers individual delete of revisions out-of-the-box, which is very handy. Disappointed WordPress does not do the same.
This plugin in looked to be just the thing to fix it, but despite the WordPress site stating is compatible with 4.9.4, it does not work at all for me. After editing, the list of revisions is empty.
Perhaps someone with the know-how will pick up support from the original author.
Potentially great plugin gone dormant….
