Document version control
Description
Document version control provides clarity and traceability across all types of content, from technical documentation and labels to web pages, manuals and compliance reports. It helps teams avoid version clashes, reduces duplication and ensures that everyone works from the most accurate and approved version.
Version control becomes even more powerful when content is created in a structured, component-based format. In Tridion Docs, authors can track changes at the component level – meaning every topic, sentence or image has its own history. This allows document owners to see precisely which components were included in a particular version, when they were added and who added them. Component-level versioning supports faster audits, stronger governance and better control across multilingual or regulated content. In Tridion Docs, this versioning capability is supported through Baselining, which provides a fixed reference point for every version of a publication.
Example use cases
- Regulatory compliance: Regulatory and compliance documentation.
- Medical device technical file: Medical device labels and technical files.
- Reporting: Departmental reports and controlled assets.
- Publishing: Multichannel publishing across global markets.
- Management: Managing multiple versions of user manuals or product guides.
