Making a document versionable


As a software developer, you must be aware of version control of your code. Controlling, managing, and maintaining the history of document versions is equally important in the context of a document management system.

Imagine that you are writing the requirement document on the newest project you are working on. A number of people will probably be involved in writing and validating this; and thus a number of iterations will be taking place for constructing the document and before the document is ultimately finalized. So how will you be able to manage all the versions of the document? Obviously, it is quite difficult to name the document as per the version and change the name every time the version is changed.
