## Description

Create, manage and view snapshots of any post (or custom post type) whenever you
want. Like user-managed revisions with a lot of useful functionality.

Features:
 * Create snapshots of any post type including all metadata at any point
manually as a secure history and backup of your posts * Uses the standard WordPress
posts table (like revisions) * Uses a custom post status (and therefore works for
any post type) * Easy snapshot management meta box * Create Snapshots comfortably
in the publish post box * Choose which post types you want to enable the snapshots
feature for

PHP Developer API:
 pos_create_snapshot_from($post_id): Creates a new snapshot for
a given post ID pos_delete_snapshot($snap_id): Delete a snapshot by its ID pos_get_latest_snapshot(
$post_id): Returns the ID of the latest snapshot for a given post ID pos_get_plainview_url(
$snap_id): Get the URL to the plain snapshot view

This Plugin is sponsored by ready2order GmbH, the company which is producing Austria’s

NOTE: The use of a custom post status in WordPress is still in beta. The developers
of this plugin are in no possible case responsible for any data loss.
 If you want
to be sure nothing happens, backup your database on a regular basis. You should 
do it anyway.
