README

Peek gives editorial teams field-by-field diff comparison, side-by-side visual preview, and coordinated multi-entry releases for Craft CMS 5.

Features

• Field Diff — Side-by-side comparison of every field between a draft and its live entry, with syntax-highlighted changes
• Visual Preview — Two-pane iframe preview showing live vs. draft with synchronized scrolling
• Releases — Group multiple drafts into a release and publish them atomically (all or nothing)
• Scheduled Publishing — Set a future date and let Peek auto-publish via cron
• Dashboard — Overview of pending drafts, stale drafts, and active releases across the site
• Entry Sidebar — See changed field count, diff link, and release membership directly in the draft editor

Requirements

• Craft CMS 5.0.0 or later
• PHP 8.2 or later
