version control questions
Permalink
1. the changes to each version is a duplicate right? so it is save for me to purge previous versions that i had during development?
2. say, if i have 5 versions of a page. is there a way for me to start from version 3, and do the required changes, and saved as version 6?
3. sort of similar question to #2, the situation i'm in is, i go to a page, edit, change version, exit edit - discard changes (if save, it'll go to the latest version again). up to this point is okay. now if i go back to edit mode, and exit with discarding changes, it'll also go back to the latest one.
again, if #2 is possible, #3 will be fixed as well

#1) awesome
#2) not so awesome, but okay :D
#3) i just notice that scenario now, but my thought was if the client wants to edit the page that's running a previous version, s/he login, go to page, hit edit without thinking, then realise that the page is completely different, and thought, 'o sh*t, just exit without saving,' but the page has revert to the latest version.
that would be awesome if there is an approach to that, but for now, i think i'll make sure that all pages are running the latest version
thx again

That being said, yeah delete the old ones. Particularly if you're going to be actively removing blocks & packages from your site as well.
#2) I suppose you could try to edit within the preview edit pane to create a new version from several ancestors without deleting the parents. We used to be able to do that kinda thing in earlier versions it's just a confusing UI at best.
I think I would just load to version 3, remove 4,5 make my change and let it be the new 4.
#3)have you tried previewing on exit in that scenario?
