Dexterity

To enable versioning for a Dexterity content type you need to:

1. Install plone.app.versioningbehavior and use it on your content type.

2. Enable versioning for the type in the types control panel.

3. Install this package.

4. Go to the portal_diff tool ZMI page.

5. Add Compound Diff for Dexterity types for your content type. Field name can be anything, e.g: “any”.

You can enable versioning on Dexterity content types without these steps, but then you’ll have to add the correct “diff type” for each field of your content type.
