plone.app.stagingbehavior is a Plone product used for enabling the plone.app.iterate functionality for Dexterity content. It allows you to perform the checkout and checkin operations to work on a copy of your original content.
Usage:
Just use the behavior plone.app.stagingbehavior.interfaces.IStagingSupport in your Dexterity content-type.
In your profiles/default/types/YOURTYPE.xml add the behavior:
< ?xml version="1.0"? >
< object name="example.conference.presenter" meta_type="Dexterity FTI"
i18n:domain="example.conference" xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n" >
< !-- enabled behaviors -- >
< property name="behaviors" >
< element value="plone.app.stagingbehavior.interfaces.IStagingSupport" / >
< /property >
< /object >
The IStagingSupport behavior just adds the refered staging support to your content-type, but it does not enable it.
You have to set the "versioning" option in the Plone types control panel (/@@types-controlpanel) to either "Manual" or "Automatic" for activating versioning.
