### 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 Change 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:

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

• Actions such as Send to Convert er or Send to 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).

Instead of imposing version control on single documents you may also put all documents of a folder under version control. Details are to be found in 5.3.7 Automatic versioning.
