Every Version Preserved. Every Change Tracked.

Maintain a complete visual history of every document revision. Checkout locking prevents conflicting edits, while version labels and comments provide context for every change.

In organisations where documents go through multiple rounds of review, editing, and approval, keeping track of the correct version is a constant challenge. Which draft is current? Who made the last changes? Can we go back to last week's version? Dockria's Version Control answers all of these questions definitively.

Every time a document is modified, Dockria automatically creates a new version while preserving the complete history. A visual timeline shows every version with timestamps, author information, and optional labels and comments. Navigate to any point in a document's history and see exactly what it looked like at that moment.

The checkout and check-in system prevents the classic problem of simultaneous edits. When a user checks out a document for editing, other users are informed that the document is locked and by whom. Only the user who checked out the document can save changes. When they check it back in, the new version is created and the lock is released.

Need to revert to a previous version? One-click restore creates a new version from any historical state — no data is ever overwritten or lost. Add version labels like 'Client Approved' or 'Board Final' to mark significant milestones, making it easy to find and reference key versions in a document's lifecycle.
