Enabled Revisions to existing custom post type not working WordPress

I am trying to enable revisions for an existing custom post type. As the post type was already created about 2 years ago so where the post type was register I added revisions to the supports array.

Earlier my code was like:

   $labels = array(
    'name' => 'Products',
    'singular_name' => 'Product',
    'all_items' => 'All Products',      
    'add_new' => 'Add New',
    'add_new_item' => 'Add New Product',
    'edit_item' => 'Edit Products',
    'new_item' => 'New Product',
    'view_item' => 'View Product',
    'search_items' => 'Search Products',
    'not_found' =>  'No Prducsts Found',
    'not_found_in_trash' => 'No Products in Trash', 
    'parent_item_colon' => ''
  );
  $supports = array(
    'title',
    'custom-fields',
    'editor',
    'thumbnail'
  );
  $args = array(
    'labels' => $labels,
    'public' => true,
    'menu_position' => 5,
    'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'products' ),
    'has_archive' => true,
    'supports' => $supports 
  ); 
  register_post_type('products', $args);

And now it looks like:

   $labels = array(
    'name' => 'Products',
    'singular_name' => 'Product',
    'all_items' => 'All Products',      
    'add_new' => 'Add New',
    'add_new_item' => 'Add New Product',
    'edit_item' => 'Edit Products',
    'new_item' => 'New Product',
    'view_item' => 'View Product',
    'search_items' => 'Search Products',
    'not_found' =>  'No Prducsts Found',
    'not_found_in_trash' => 'No Products in Trash', 
    'parent_item_colon' => ''
  );
  $supports = array(
    'title',
    'custom-fields',
    'editor',
    'thumbnail',
    'revisions'
  );
  $args = array(
    'labels' => $labels,
    'public' => true,
    'menu_position' => 5,
    'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'products' ),
    'has_archive' => true,
    'supports' => $supports 
  ); 
  register_post_type('products', $args);

This code didn’t enable revisions in the custom post type.

Then I found another code which I added to my theme’s function.php:

function add_revisions_custom_post()
{
    add_post_type_support( 'products', 'revisions' );
}
add_action('init','add_revisions_custom_post');

This one is also not working.

Can anyone suggest me how I can enable revisions?

Thanks in advance.
