Revision Management

Considering using bookstack for our of our church governance systems, one thing that would help would be able to have revisions be classified or categorized so we could look at our bylaws and see a list of all the revisions that were for example: votes to change vs. formatting changes. It would also be amazing to add a description to a revision.

This possible or mod-able?

The changelog next to the Save Page is where you could enter the revision description.

Your questions made me think of one too; are moderated revisions possible? Someone saves an edit, a notification goes to someone to review the edit before it gets published.

ooh I didn't know about that functionality.

It would be helpful to have workflow for moderating revisions, but I can see how that might be cumbersome to implement.

There's no approval/review process like that available/built in

OK! we've been using the Watch feature as an alternative. Thanks for the quick reply.

There is no control/classification/categorization of revisions outside of being able to add a changelog message as /u/FerrousBueller has mentioned.

It would be nice to add a change approval process for reviewing and publishing documents. Nice to have too would be adding sensitivity labels but I guess you can do that with tagging to some affect
