Put document under version control

Setting up version control for a document means creating a new object of the 'Document under version control' type using the existing document as the initial version.

      Select  Version Control in the context menu of the document.

      In the 'Place under version control' form, enter the description, state and number of the original version.

As a result of the action, the entry of the document changes:

A version number is inserted after the name of the document.

In the context menu of the document, the action [New version] is offered instead of [Replace].

In addition, when applied to documents under version control, the following BSCW actions affect the current version of the document:

      Clicking on the document name or the file type icon to the left of it will download the current version.

      Send to converter and  Send to archive concern the current version.

You can only undo the version control setup for a document by deleting all versions of the document (see 8.3.5).

Instead of placing documents under version control individually, you can also do this for all documents in an entire folder. For details, see 8.3.6 Automatic versioning.
