===================
Document versioning
===================
Mayan EDMS has the ability to store different versions of the same
document. A comment field is provided to allow users to summarize the new
version changes in comparison with the previous one. If a new version was
uploaded by mistake or such new version is no longer necessary the option to
revert to a previous version of the document is provided.
.. blockdiag::
blockdiag {
default_shape = roundedbox
orientation = portrait
node_width = 200;
version_1 [ label = "Version 1" ];
version_2 [ label = "Version 2" ];
document_1 [ label = "payroll_report.pdf" ];
document_2 [ label = "payroll_report_fixed.pdf" ];
upload_1 [ label = "payroll_report.pdf" ];
upload_2 [ label = "payroll_report_fixed.pdf" ];
upload_1 -> version_1 -> document_1;
upload_2 -> version_2 -> document_2;
document_1 -> document_2;
}
Only the interactive document sources (:doc:`../chapters/sources`)
(``Web`` and ``Staging folders``) are available to upload new document versions.
There is no limit to the number of versions a document can have.
.. blockdiag::
blockdiag {
default_shape = roundedbox
orientation = portrait
node_width = 200;
document [ label = "payroll_report.pdf" ];
versions [ label = "Versions", stacked ];
document -> versions;
}
By default, the last version will be showed when working with the document
but any of the versions can be inspected and viewed.
