Database content in Silverstripe CMS can be "staged" before its publication, as well as track all changes through the
lifetime of a database record.

Versioning in Silverstripe CMS is handled through the [`Versioned`](api:SilverStripe\Versioned\Versioned) extension class. As an [`DataExtension`](api:SilverStripe/ORM/DataExtension) it is possible to be applied to any [`DataObject`](api:SilverStripe\ORM\DataObject) subclass. The extension class will automatically update read and write operations performed via the ORM because it implements the [`augmentSQL()`](api:SilverStripe/ORM/DataExtension::augmentSql()) extension hook method.

The `Versioned` extension is applied to pages in the CMS (the [`SiteTree`](api:SilverStripe\CMS\Model\SiteTree) class) - along with some other core `DataObject` models such as files - by default. Draft content edited in the CMS can be different
from published content shown to your website visitors.

# `Extension` and `DataExtension`
# `Extension`

An [Extension](api:SilverStripe\Core\Extension) allows for adding additional functionality to a class or modifying existing functionality
without the hassle of creating a subclass. Developers can add Extensions to any PHP class that has the [Extensible](api:SilverStripe\Core\Extensible)
trait applied within core, modules or even their own code to make it more reusable.

Extensions are defined as subclasses of the [`Extension`](api:SilverStripe\Core\Extension) class.
Typically, subclasses of the [`DataExtension`](api:SilverStripe\ORM\DataExtension) class are used for extending a [`DataObject`](api:SilverStripe\ORM\DataObject) subclass.

#### Creating an extension for `LoginSession`

The first step is to create a [`DataExtension`](api:SilverStripe\ORM\DataExtension) that grant some users the ability to hooks into [`LoginSession`](api:SilverStripe\SessionManager\Models\LoginSession)'s `canView()` and `canDelete()` methods. This example aligns the permissions on the [`LoginSession`](api:SilverStripe\SessionManager\Models\LoginSession) to the permission on the Member who owns the [`LoginSession`](api:SilverStripe\SessionManager\Models\LoginSession).

Alternatively, you could call [`Permission::check()`](api:SilverStripe\Security\Permission::check()) to validate if the member has a predefined CMS permission. If you need even more granular permissions, you can implement a [`PermissionProvider`](/developer_guides/security/permissions/#permissionprovider) to define your own custom permissions.
