Imposing version control

Establishing version control for a document may be thought of as creating a new object of the type ‘Document under version control’ and using the existing document as the initial version.

      Select action menu  Version Control  in the document’s action menu.

      Enter description, state and number of the original version into the ‘Start Version Con­trol’ form.

Version control is indicated by a few changes in the document’s entry in the folder listing:

A version number is inserted after the document name.

action menu  Revise  replaces action menu  Replace  in the action menu of the document.

When a document is under version control, some BSCW actions only concern the current ver­sion of the document:

Clicking the document name or the icon downloads the current version.

Actions such as action menu  Convert  or action menu  Archive  concern the current version.

You may revoke version control for a document only by destroying all its versions (see 5.3.6 Destroying versions).
