Fields chooses the ACF Text field for the version, the Date Picker for the revision date (with an optional fallback to the post's last update) and the Text field for the maintainer. Display sets the layout, the three labels, the separator, text before and after, a text when nothing is saved, the HTML tag and an icon. Style covers text and surface, label colour, value weight, row spacing and the icon.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use acf document revision summary
Policies, guides, specifications and terms change, and readers need to know which version they are reading and how current it is. Typing “Version 2.3, updated 14 March” into each page goes stale. ACF document revision summary reads three ACF fields you keep on the post — a version, a revision date and a maintainer — and shows them as one line or a labelled list, with the date in your site's date format. Without a revision date it can use the post's own last update.

ACF document revision summary and Elementor alternatives
Compare the existing Elementor workflow with this Complementor module before choosing your setup.

07 / Requirements and compatibility
ACF document revision summary compatibility with Elementor
- Requires Elementor and Advanced Custom Fields.
- Reads Text and Date Picker fields of the current public post.
- Shows the current values; it does not track or compare revisions.
Complementor uses classic Elementor APIs. Atomic-native controls are not implemented. Check your theme, cache and integrations on a staging site before release.
08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot acf document revision summary
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why are the field lists empty?
They list the ACF fields of the post being edited. In a template, preview it with a post that has the field group.
Why does nothing show on a post?
The chosen fields are empty on that post; the editor says so. Set a text for when nothing is saved if you want one.
Why is the date different from ACF's display format?
The widget shows dates in the site's date format under Settings › General.
Why does a draft show nothing?
Only published, public posts are read.

Yes. Choose only the version field.
