Add "Revert Changes" Button

[ishields]

The new Maglev V3 auto saves changes in the editor. Then when you click Publish it moves them to the published version of the page. The issue is that if you are experimenting and making edits to a page, but then decide you do not want these changes, there is no way to revert the edits. Experimenting with edits was possible in maglev V2 but its less possible now since changes are auto-saved.

The fix should be simple. Add a button that allows you to Revert Changes. When clicked, it will discard the edits and revert to the existing published version of the page.

Agreed.

The only problem I see is that when you've got 2 editors working on the same page (not necessarily at the same time).
Let's say that editor A is happy with her changes. Editor B does some other changes and decides to revert to the last publishing state of the page, the work of editor A will then be lost.

One solution would be to track and maintain a kind of session when you edit a page. It looks complicated.

The problem could be solved if Maglev supported page versioning. It's in the roadmap (probably as a plugin).

This makes a lot of sense and I like the solution of the versioning so you can rollback to previous versions! That would be great either way. Also it would be nice to track who else is editing a page and see an indicator "Joe is also editing this page right now". Generally speaking, for our use case any way, If I'm editing a page and find out that someone else is editing it, I more than likely just want to talk to that person and make sure we're not going to be duplicating effort. This is a big edge case for us, and its unlikely multiple people will be editing the same page. When you talked to users did this type of conflict come up a lot for people? I would've guessed that this multi-user editing problem is an edge case for most users of Maglev, and wanting to rollback edits would be a more common need.
