Version
A point-in-time snapshot of a document's content. Every edit creates a new version; older versions remain accessible.
Version
A version in Papyrus is a point-in-time snapshot of a document's content. Every save creates a new minor version (1.0 → 1.1); promoting a draft to a release creates a major version (1.x → 2.0).
Versions are not differences; they are full snapshots of the file at that moment. This is what guarantees you can always retrieve the exact content as it was on a given date.
Version history shows:
- Version number
- Created date and author
- Change description (entered manually on major versions)
- Size and hash
- Actions: view, download, compare, restore
Restoring an earlier version creates a new version (e.g., restoring v3 from v5 creates a v6 with v3's content) — the version history continues forward without overwriting.
Major versions trigger workflow notifications by default. Minor versions are silent unless explicitly configured otherwise.
