README

What does this offer over versioned-admin?

Most of the value of snapshots are explained in the versioned-snapshots README file, but the major takeaway is that this history viewer will show you the changes that have happened to objects in your $owns tree as if it is native history to the owner object. In other words, it helps authors to see the answer to the question, "What happens when I publish this page?"

Further, since each snapshot provides a timestamp, it is possible to view a page at a time when a given owned object was added or changed.
