From this menu, you can make the decision about how many revisions you want to be saved for each post type. The settings for the plugin are found at the bottom of the writing page and will include any custom posts types, along with posts and pages.

If you want all the revisions saved for a specific post type, just leave the field blank. This tells WordPress to keep all the revisions. After you choose the settings you prefer, you can click the "save changes" button and you will be all set.

It's recommended to set the posts and pages at less than five revisions.

Set the revisions to just one or two and you may notice a difference with your websites.

Using the WP Revision Control plugin for WordPress gives you more control than you have without it. This plugin provides plenty of benefit and it a necessity for most website using WordPress.
