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 
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
replaces
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
or
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.
