I have understood this issue and i'm currently working on this issue.

@davisagli As this issue was included in the issue i was working on, so i will be working collaboratively with @Ankitgkp

[davisagli]

@KatalKavya96 @Ankitgkp This is not a good beginner issue. It requires some complicated analysis and changes in Products.CMFEditions. What is your understanding of what needs to happen there?

[erral]

This requires first Plone site to be versionable, which we already have a PR for it: plone/Products.CMFEditions#113

Then having the historyview work on Volto wouldn't be that hard.

[stevepiercy]

I added the 43: complex label to indicate this is not a good first-timer issue, per https://6.docs.plone.org/contributing/first-time.html#work-with-github-issues.

[davisagli]

@erral plone/Products.CMFEditions#113 doesn't include all that is needed. We need a special modifier to make sure that things like the Zope component site manager are not copied. And we need a careful look to see what else is stored on the portal root that doesn't make sense to copy.

@davisagli I meant that before any Volto work we need to work on this on the backend part

[davisagli]

@erral Yes, that's what I was trying to say too :)
