Create a working copy of any published page, edit freely, resolve conflicts side-by-side, and publish when ready — all inside the WordPress install you already have.
Working Copy Pro works the way an editorial team actually works — with a git-style three-way merge under the hood and plain publishing language on the surface.
One click clones any published page or post into a draft. The live page is untouched and stays live.
Work in the editor you already know. Take an hour or a month — nothing is public until you say so.
If the published page changed while you worked, a side-by-side resolver shows exactly what — per block, per field, per image — rendered with your real theme. Keep yours, take theirs, or keep both.
One click replaces the published page with your resolved version. The previous state is saved as a version and a native WordPress revision, so you can always step back.
Most diff tools compare text and hope. Working Copy Pro records a sync baseline — the same base/yours/theirs model Git uses — so it knows the difference between a new change and a decision you already made.
Conflicts are detected per block against your last sync point. Resolving something once means it stays resolved — an unrelated title edit won't re-flag your whole page.
Adding, removing, or retargeting a hyperlink is detected — while purely cosmetic markup changes are correctly ignored. Down to a single character, real edits never slip through.
The resolver and comparison views render both versions with your actual theme CSS — you review the page your visitors will see, not an abstract list of blocks.
A Page Details sidebar — styled like the WordPress editor — handles featured image, excerpt, template, and SEO field conflicts with the same keep-mine / use-theirs clarity.
Both panes follow along as you scroll, pausing naturally through inserted sections and re-aligning on common ground. Toggles let you hide relocated blocks or focus on what's left.
Every merge and publish saves a version first — in the plugin and in native WordPress revisions. Publication history shows who published what, with one-click restore.
Four moments from a real editing session — not just the conflict resolver, the whole workflow around it.
Most diff tools force you to choose new wording and a new position in the same click — so accepting an edit silently relocates the block too. Working Copy Pro keeps them separate and labeled, step by step.
Role-based permissions, enforced on the server — not just hidden buttons.
Let authors spin up working copies without touching anything live.
Reviewing and resolving conflicts can be limited to editors — every action is permission-checked per post, server-side.
Publishing to live can require a role you choose. WordPress's own per-post permissions are always respected on top.
The free Working Copy plugin — no trial, no card, on WordPress.org — creates working copies and compares them side by side against the live page, rendered with your real theme. Resolving and publishing is what Pro adds.
No — that's the entire point. Working copies are draft posts inside your existing install. Nothing leaves your server.
Working Copy Pro detects it automatically and flags exactly which blocks, fields, and images changed since your last sync. Decisions you've already made are never re-flagged.
Both additions are shown as exactly that — one “Only in My Version,” one “New in Published” — and you can keep both. Independent additions are never forced into a false either/or conflict.
Yes and yes. There's a Gutenberg sidebar panel, a classic-editor meta box, and support for every public post type.
The free Working Copy plugin (on WordPress.org) lets you create working copies and compare them side-by-side to the live page — creating copies, difference detection, and the Compare-to-Live view. Working Copy Pro adds the conflict resolver (Keep Mine / Use This / Use Both per block), saving merges, publishing to live, version history with one-click revert, publication history, and role-based permissions.
