Further to this thread, we’ve just had a client discover (to their horror) that ACF fields aren’t saved in WP revisions unless the_content field is visible and USED.
Some info on how to get around this issue —

Having to show the standard content field on a page where we’ve made heavy use of Flexible Content is a real pain. Having to put dummy content into the_content in order for ACF to save revisions is an even bigger one.
Is there some way around this? I realise this is more of a WP issue than ACF, but having to keep the_content on the edit page in order to save meta data revisions seems really inelegant.
Thanks in advance,
James
