From the file summary, you can restore and download versions
of a file, view the change summary of a version (with some ECM repositories),
and upload a new version of a file.
About this task
Versioning can work differently depending on your Enterprise
Content Management (ECM) server. For community libraries and linked
libraries on IBM® FileNet® Content Manager, you can only have
automatic versioning; you cannot add change summaries. For linked
libraries on IBM Content Manager,
you can have different kinds of versioning and change summaries. Different
types of versioning include:
- Automatic. Automatic versioning creates a version every time you
edit a file.
- Manual. Manual versioning allows you to choose when you want to
create a version.
- None. If versioning is set to none, then you are unable to create
versions.
The versioning level is associated with the document type, so
different documents can have different version requirements. The ECM
administrator controls the version level.
