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   Version Control  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:

• A version number is inserted after the document name.
•   Revise  replaces   Replace  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   Convert  or   Archive  concern the current version.

You may revoke version control for a document only by destroying all its versions (see 4.8.6).
