You can create a new version of a document and archive the current
version. The new version becomes the current version.
Perform the following steps:
- In your places list, open the place that contains the document
for which you want to create a new version.
Note: documents with
drafts cannot be versioned.
- Right-click the document and click Versions.
- Click New.
- Type a brief comment that will help you identify this iteration
of the document in the event you later want to restore it.
- Click OK.
- The new version becomes the current, active version of the document. Only one version of a document can be the active version.
Document versioning is enabled as a setting in a document type. When
document versioning is enabled, there are two possible settings:
- Enable document versioning
- The author must explicitly create a version of a document. When a new
version is created, the original document is not replaced, and a new document
with the modified text is created.
- Always store updates as new version
- Each time a document is modified, a new version is created automatically.
The previous versions are archived.
