New Feature — Set Latest Revision

Managing content revisions is essential to keeping course catalogs and handbooks accurate, especially when workflows involve multiple reviewers and moderation states. When a specific round of edits is denied or needs to be discarded, resetting content while preserving revision history has traditionally required extra steps. Clean Catalog’s “Set Latest Revision” module simplifies this by letting teams quickly align the editable version of a catalog page with the version that should be public.

What This Feature Does

The “Set Latest Revision” module adds a button to the Revisions page that allows users to select which revision becomes the current version, which is the version shown on the Edit tab. With a single action, you can make a previously approved or published revision both the editable version and the public version, without deleting or overwriting any existing revisions.

This feature is most helpful when changes from a specific round of workflow revisions need to be discarded. If edits are denied during review, you can reset the catalog page so editors are once again working from the approved, published content. Denied or unpublished revisions remain available for reference, but they are no longer editable.

How to Use It

To get started, the Clean Catalog support team will need to activate this new module on your catalog site. Once activated, open the Revisions tab on your desired catalog page and click “Make latest revision” on the revision you want to work from. That revision becomes the editable version, allowing editors to move forward from a clean, approved starting point.

The Set Latest Revision module removes friction from denied workflows by making it easy to discard unwanted edits while preserving revision history. This is especially useful when feedback calls for reverting to an earlier, approved version instead of building on recent changes. By restoring the approved version as the active editing state, teams maintain clarity without sacrificing revision history.
