   This hook does not compare values of post meta keys if you have changed those as well. $post_after and $post_before will include strictly the new/old post data without meta fields of post.

   Example migrated from Codex:

   Suppose we have a post named Original Title and we edit it to Edited Title. Let’s hook to post_updated to check what has changed:

   Let’s hook to post_updated to check what has changed:

   <?php
   function check_values($post_ID, $post_after, $post_before){
       echo '<b>Post ID:</b><br />';
       var_dump($post_ID);
   
       echo '<b>Post Object AFTER update:</b><br />';
       var_dump($post_after);
   
       echo '<b>Post Object BEFORE update:</b><br />';
       var_dump($post_before);
   }
   
   add_action( 'post_updated', 'check_values', 10, 3 ); //don't forget the last argument to allow all three arguments of the function
   ?>

   The Result then would be this:

int 1403
