4.8.2 Creating a new version

You may create a new version of a document under version control as you would 'Edit' or 'Replace' any other document.

If you 'Edit' a text document under version control directly on the server, a new version is created automatically. Its version information should be completed in order to inform the members of the workspace (see 4.8.3).

For documents under version control, the [Replace] action is replaced by [Revise], indicating the change in functionality.

The 'Revise' form that BSCW brings up for uploading a file as a new version offers default values for the new version number and the version state. These may be modified, e. g. to indicate a significant change from the earlier version to the current version by an out-of-sequence version number (see 4.8.3).

Entering instructive information in the field [Changes made in version <version number>] will help the members of the workspace to understand the version history and to find a specific older version.
