## Description

Product Revisions for WooCommerce keeps a complete, automatic history of your product
changes and answers three questions no store owner should have to guess about:

 1. **What changed?** A clear, human-readable comparison of every version: prices, 
    descriptions, stock settings, images, attributes, variations and more.
 2. **Who changed it, when, and from where?** Every version records the author and 
    the source of the change — the product editor, quick edit, bulk edit, the REST 
    API, WP-CLI, an import, or another plugin.
 3. **How do I get back to the previous state?** Compare any version with the current
    state to see exactly what would change. Restoring a version is provided by the 
    separate Pro add-on.

#### Safe by design

 * A plugin error can never block saving your products — tracking fails safe and
   steps aside.
 * History is never rewritten: every change is a new version, and the versions written
   before it stay untouched.
 * Stock movements caused by orders are recorded separately from editorial changes,
   so your history is not flooded by sales.

#### Built for real stores

 * Works out of the box — no configuration required.
 * Designed for performance: change detection adds a few milliseconds to a product
   save; browsing history adds nothing to your storefront.
 * Deduplicated, compressed storage with automatic retention (90 days / 50 versions
   per product) and a storage monitor.
 * Grouped bulk operations: a CSV import shows up as one operation, not five thousand
   entries.
 * No external services, no telemetry, no data ever leaves your site.
 * Compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).

#### What is tracked

Simple, variable, grouped and external products: general data, descriptions, prices,
inventory settings, shipping, tax, categories and tags, images, attributes, linked
products, downloadable files and every variation.

#### Free vs Pro

Product Revisions for WooCommerce records the complete history of every product —
without limits: unlimited versions, full comparisons, authors and sources. Restoring
a previous version (full or selective, with a safety version and conflict detection)
is provided by the separate [Product Revisions Pro](https://productrevisions.com/)
add-on.

## FAQ

### I installed the plugin — why can’t I see older changes?

History starts at the moment of installation — versions from before the installation
do not exist and cannot be recreated. Right after activation the plugin records 
a base version of every existing product in the background, so even your first edit
shows a full comparison.

### Does the plugin back up my images and files?

No. The plugin records **references** to images and downloadable files, never copies
of the files themselves. If an image is deleted from the media library, the history
still shows which image was used. It is not a backup plugin.

### Will it slow down my store?

No. The storefront is untouched. Saving a product performs a few milliseconds of
extra work, and heavy tasks (like retention cleanup) run in the background.

### What happens to my data when I uninstall the plugin?

By default the history stays in the database, so reinstalling brings it back. If
you prefer, enable “delete all data on uninstall” in the settings before removing
the plugin.

### Is any data sent anywhere?

No. The free plugin makes no external connections of any kind and collects no telemetry.

### Are changes written directly to the database (bypassing WooCommerce) detected?

No. Changes made with raw SQL that bypass the WooCommerce product API are not visible
to this plugin.
