The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision – what was added, what remained unchanged, and what was removed. Lines added or removed are highlighted, and individual character changes get additional highlighting.” – [WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/article/revisions/) #### Speed up your website Revisions can be nice to have, but having a lot of revisions may slow down your website.
