Usage

Just use the behavior plone.app.stagingbehavior.interfaces.IStagingSupport in your Dexterity content-type.

In your profiles/default/types/YOURTYPE.xml add the behavior:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object name="example.conference.presenter" meta_type="Dexterity FTI"
   i18n:domain="example.conference" xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n">

 <!-- enabled behaviors -->
 <property name="behaviors">
     <element value="plone.app.stagingbehavior.interfaces.IStagingSupport" />
 </property>

</object>

The IStagingSupport behavior just adds the referred staging support to your content-type, but it does not enable it.

You have to set the "versioning" option in the Plone types control panel (/@@types-controlpanel) to either "Manual" or "Automatic" for activating versioning.
