[Other] Support for document versioning? #685

Open AlexKalopsia opened 3 years ago

AlexKalopsia commented 3 years ago

Sometimes I have documents such as contracts, and I'd like to keep track of any possible update of the contract itself without creating separate entities.

Is document versioning supported in any way?

jonaswinkler commented 3 years ago

No, not supported. If you really need that, I'd look elsewhere.

AlexKalopsia commented 3 years ago

Honestly, I've looked elsewhere and this is by far the best document manager, so I can live without. But it still feels like there might be some "cheap" ways to support this? I saw a few people suggested linking documents. An alternative could be to use versioning within the document serial? so if the ID is 11, I could then do 11.1 11.2 11.3 and so on? Just food for thought, it doesn't have to be a complex versioning system.

But yeah, again, it's not the end of the world :)

You might take a look at https://www.mayan-edms.com/ It’s quite heavy and more geared to enterprises, but does support versioning if that’s a requirement. I personally don’t use it due to it’s high system requirements and many features i don’t use.

Thanks! Again, here I was not looking for something complex, but just a way to "group" documents together (not tags)

Perhaps #56 could meet your needs?
