How Version Control Works in zipBoard?

This guide will help you understand and utilize our new and improved document version control system. Managing your project files is now easier and more efficient. Let's get started!

The Problem with Managing Revisions

When working on editing documents and content, you often need to manage revisions and gather feedback on the latest version while still being able to view feedback from previous versions. Without an effective system, this process can become confusing and inefficient, making collaboration difficult and hindering productivity.

The New Version Control Solution

With our updated version control, you can now manage your file revisions seamlessly within the same task. Here are the key features of this new system:

Add New Versions Seamlessly

As you make revisions, simply upload the updated version within the same task. There is no need to create separate entries for each version. This keeps your project files organized and easy to manage.

Track Changes with Ease

zipBoard automatically tracks all uploaded versions and displays them in a clear timeline. This feature removes confusion and ensures you always know which version is the most current. It also makes it easy to review the history of changes made to any file.

Maintain a Clean Workspace

To keep your task manager organized, you can hide older versions that you no longer need. This ensures that everyone on your team is referencing the most current iteration of each file, helping to avoid any potential mix-ups or errors.

Review with Your Entire Team in One Place

Share and collaborate on different versions with your team directly within zipBoard. This centralized approach to file management enhances collaboration and ensures everyone is on the same page.
