LogicalDOC's integrated Document Version Control automatically manages multiple versions of a document as changes occur. A new version is created and tracked each time a document is modified. Revision control is a crucial component of control systems and document numbering. Therefore, the version number is always visible; the working copy (latest revision) is presented for current operations, while previous versions of the document remain accessible.
Version control software enables you to monitor when changes were made and who made them. A new approved version is generated whenever a user updates metadata or performs a check-out/check-in operation. These operations also create a new file version.
Benefits of this Feature
- Eliminates the need for ad-hoc naming conventions to manage file versions, such as inserting numbers or dates in the file name.
- Users no longer need to manually version files within the collaborative document management system.
- Document Control: View who made changes to a document, when those changes were made, and what modifications were applied.
