Is it possible to add or update a Post/Page without it overwriting the current content that it on there? I need to make some edits to a page, but I need to have someone review it before I can publish it and I don't want to overwrite the current content that is up there.
Any suggestions?

WordPress has built in Revision Management.

You can set the saved revisions to a custom number in the wp-config.php file in your installation.

define( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', 30 );

NOTE: You should be aware of the »autosave« mechanism, which also sets post revisions. So leaving a tab open for 1 hour with a Post Revision interval of 6minutes and a Revision limit of 10 revisions, might destroy your whole history.

NOTE: There's also the Role »Contributer«, which is not allowed to publish posts.
