Comment Revisions

Comment revisions require Statamic Pro and are disabled by default. Enable them with MEERKAT_REVISIONS_ENABLED=true or meerkat.revisions.enabled.

Meerkat records the original comment and each text edit. Approval, rejection, and spam actions remain in the moderation history.

#When a revision is recorded

Creating a comment records revision #1. Each text edit records another revision.

#Viewing revisions

Open a comment's More menu and choose View Revisions. A panel opens listing every revision, newest first, with:

• The revision number (Meerkat marks the latest revision as current)
• The edit time
• Who made it (if a signed-in user)
• The full comment text at that point
• An optional reason for the edit

Viewing revisions requires view comments.

Users with edit comments also see Restore on older revisions. Restoring creates a new revision from the selected content, so the later history remains available.

#Current limitations

• No side-by-side comparison. The panel shows each revision in full.
• Moderator-only history. Comment authors do not receive a separate self-service revision view.
• Kept indefinitely. Meerkat does not delete old revisions automatically.

#API access

Get revision history from GET /api/meerkat/comments/{id}/revisions. See API Endpoints.
