[Setup] Installing CMFEditions

[Ken Wasetis - Contextual Corp.]

Specifically, go to Site Setup (control panel) and then to the 'Types' 
configuration area.  Select a content type (such as 'Page') and then 
specify whether or not for that type Versioning should be enabled 
(automatically or manually) from the Versioning policy drop-down.  Click 
Apply Changes and you're all set.  Repeat for each type you want to 
version.

Warning:  We don't typically enable versioning on Files and Images, 
suspecting that may cause database bloat, but I would assume it does 
'just work', but just might not be advised (to keep many many versions 
of large file attachments, that is.)  Using versioning on the Page, 
Event, News Item and your custom page-like types works just great, though.

Cheers,
Ken
