Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with WordPress 6.7, Yoast Duplicate Post 4.5, PHP 8.1, and the Block Editor: create a page, use “Rewrite & Republish,” alter it, save a draft, and compare revisions. Done means the revision shows only changes made after creating the copy, rather than the entire page as new.
