OVERVIEW
Version control in Orcanos enables you to track the files over time. It helps you to manage the document review process by creating and maintaining multiple versions of a document. You can also revert the file back to the previous version without any new changes that have been made to the document. This is particularly helpful during the review process.
When the work item is imported to the workspace, by default the version A1 is created in the Revisions tab.
