The discussion revolves around confusing behavior with new posts and embedded topics. Justinvolved reports issues with editing embedded posts, including the inability to see changes after saving and the post being marked as ‘Unlisted.’ They also note that edits disappear when viewing the full post, which is confusing for both admins and regular users. Tris20 clarifies that revision history can be hidden from users by hiding specific versions, though moderators can still view them, and suggests creating a new topic for extensive revisions. They also explain that embedded topics do not automatically update unless the parent post is modified, which may explain the observed behavior. Justinvolved acknowledges the help but clarifies they haven’t used embedded topics yet.
Im trying to add new post connected via the embedding function.
I would like to make some edits to the original post, but find the experience quite confusing.
Some questions:
Why is the post created via the embed defined as “Unlisted” and how do I change that?
On the post preview the image is shown, but not on the actual post, why is that?
As you can see in the screen recoding. I edited the post to include a picture, and some changed text. When I click “view full post” alle edits are gone, and the original post is show which is very confusing. This happens for me as admin, but also for other users.
If I am going to make this work i need to be able to edit the history of the first post so it is a clean first post, and normal community users should not see any history.
Create a new Topic – This approach is sometimes the better option if there are more than ten revisions you want to remove OR if there’s something moderators shouldn’t see(e.g. confidential information).
Embedded Topic
With the embedded Topic, one thing I’ve found, is that the info in post B does not update in post A, unless post A is modified. In the Example below, A is Main Topic and B Sub-Topic 1
