WoodWing’s Enterprise system features a unique versioning mechanism that helps users keep the revisions they need.

At the highest level, users can specify how many versions of an object type (articles, layouts, videos, etc) to keep, as well as whether to save the first version created -- important for workflows where the content arrives from outside the system and an original is a pristine copy.

For more fine-grained control, Enterprise’s administrative interface features a workflow versioning element that lets users decide whether versions created are permanent or not. Every time a file is checked-in, a new version is generated. These are minor versions. But if, in the admin interface, a system status is marked as “permanent,” it will create a major version which will not be deleted by the system.

Similarly, at defined stages in the workflow, you can instruct Enterprise to delete the versions in-between, allowing you to discard a round of editing whose main purpose is to create a clean output. It also lets the system clean-up and keep a maximum number of versions that are important.

From a client’s perspective, users can view past versions and see who created it and whether there were any comments. They can also restore previous versions, if their administrative rights allow.
