You already learned about CMFStaging...

We use a somewhat different approach, also workflow based:

  When a published object is "revised", it is copied.
  Changes are done on the copy. The original in not affected.
  When the copy is released, it changes the published object's content
  and is then deleted.

  Object being revised are in state "under revision", its copy is
  a "is revision".

  Copying and overriding is done in External Methods integrated
  as workflow scripts.
