Version Control

KRYSTAL™ DMS allows users to check-out and check-in documents in to repository. Users with check-out permissions can check out document from a document class by using the Check-out Option from the action list.. The document is then downloaded on the local machine into a pre-defined path set by user in the preferences.

Checkout Document

Each time a document is checked back in to the repository after alterations on a local machine, KRYSTAL™ DMS automatically creates and securely stores a new version so that no previous version is ever overwritten. To view a comprehensive version history for a particular document, select the Revision History from within the document hit list.
