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 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:
o A version number is inserted after the document name.
o Revise replaces 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:
o Clicking the document name or the icon downloads the current version.
o Actions such as Convert or 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).
