In a nutshell: Finally be able to duplicate and edit live posts without messing up the live version of the post.

This plugin gives users the ability to clone, edit, and then merge back the updated copy back into the original post.

You control who has access to duplicate, you also control who has the permissions to merge the newly cloned edited post back into the original.

Here’s the flow:

Original Post -> Clone -> Edit -> Merge back to Original Post

Watch it in action
