Use Compliance Taafi's Document Management functionality to maintain document version control. There are two aspects to version control:

 

  1. Only one user can make changes to a document at a time. The users checks out the document to make changes to the document. While the document is checked out, no other user can check out or make changes to the document until the first user checks it back in.
  2. Documents can be checked in as a revision. The original document still exists in the database and is available to be checked out and revised.


Documents can be embedded in the database (be sure to monitor your particular database space requirements) or they can be hyperlinks to external documents or file shares.
