Would love to be able to track View Revisions - the configuration of a view is SO much more important to me then the content of a node. It sure would be nice to have the ability to revert to older versions of views, is it possible to tie the node revision module into views somehow?

Thanks.

Well you can currently do that if you export your views to code. There are several ways like using the features module or ctoos bulk export. Once you have done this take your favorite version control system, for example "git", and you have views revisions.

Though ... Wouldn't it be handy if every time you hit the Views save button, you got new revision you could later revert to? A view as an entity ... Or an automatic export to a nominated directory (per view) on save. Just speculating...

Yes, it's a wonderful idea in a multi-admin situation. I just fixed a view where an admin went in and flailed around. My next thought was "wouldn't it be wonderful if views had revision control?" I searched and landed here.

same here.. would love something like this.. the way i do it now is just take a snapshot of the entire site, but thats totally inefficient when i just want to get save points in views.
