Revision Notes

Description

Enter a message describing the changes you are about to save in the Publish box, to be displayed around the admin. This is especially helpful amongst groups of editors, but can also be useful for your future self.

Important note: This plugin requires WordPress 4.4 for full functionality. Versions below 4.4 will be able to enter and save revision notes, but will only display the latest note in the All Posts list.

Pull requests and issues on GitHub welcome.

FAQ

Where are all the settings?

Revision Notes is meant to be a plugin that “just works” when activated, and does not currently have plans to be complex enough to warrant any settings of its own.

I love this, my only problem is forgetting to add the note. I'd love to have an option to make the note required before updating the post.
