I was searching for solutions to create a public collaborative tool, similar to Wikipedia, when I came across this database. I need version control and easy rollback for the moderation team. Dolt seems to be a great fit for this purpose.

It may be better to merely use a versioning field and allow some entries to be hidden by mods (published/draft/hidden indicator.)

Rollbacks at the database level will make things harder to understand and prevent future reference to disputed entries. (Mods may want to deliberate or keep for future reference.)

Besides, wouldn’t you want access to old revisions?

Hey, sorry. I didn't see the answer.

You have a valid point. Using a versioning field would be nicer for mods. Thank you!
