Known issues
Node Revisions
Revisions do not currently work with the 'Areas vote' content type. We have implemented a work around to mitigate the situation by preventing the creation of revisions for the candidate paragraph entities.
We are tracking this in issue #94.
For the time being, we suggest not using attempting to use revisions with 'Areas vote' nodes.
If you have Localgov Workflows turned on, it will enable 'Create new revision' by default. This should not be a cause for concern, as the problematic candidate paragraphs are being forced to ignore revisions.
If you have any questions or problems, please ask in the #feature_elections channel in the LocalGov Drupal Slack channel.
