Oh yes. I never understood the difference of Web>version and the version 
context menu in 3.8. Now with Users>Workspace (why Users!?!?) it's even 
more fun ;-)

Not that I really understand all of the things these tools show me. That is 
I usually go along quite well. But then - bummer - a super cryptic error 
message appears. I understand none of them, and I mean it. They are so 
focused on the internals of versioning and WS that absolutely nobody except 
the WS develpoer may understand them. To add some fun they are not 
localized and AFAIK not even localizable. So my non-English-speaking users 
are lost.

I think you can do this with the versiong module alone. Create a version of 
a page by hand (no auto-versioning) and use a meaningful name. Go and edit 
it. Then create another version with another fine name. Now you can swap 
those versions as you like to preview them. If you're done, publish the one 
you like.
