What is meant by Version management?
"Versionsmanagement" refers to the management of different versions of a document, file, code, or software during its lifecycle. The goal of version management is to track changes, ensure the integrity of files, allow access to previous versions, and facilitate collaboration among different users.
Typical functions of software in the "versions management" domain are:
- Versioning: The software allows for the creation and management of different versions of files or documents, with each version identified by a unique identifier.
- History and traceability: Users can track the change history of a file and trace all changes made, including the time and author of each change.
- Reverting to previous versions: Users can revert to previous versions of a file or document at any time to undo changes or restore a previous state.
- Release and approval processes: The software supports release and approval workflows where changes need to be reviewed and approved before publication.
