Version Control

Any change made to a document is saved under Version Control. You can see the version of a document by looking at the bottom of the document. For example, on the following document the version is 5.4 and has last been modified by "Sergiu":

As the image shows, the document version consists of two numbers, separated by a dot: <Major>.<Minor>. The XWiki versioning system allows the distinction between major and minor edits. When editing a page, the user has the option to decide whether his edit brings major or minor changes to the document. Saving a major version will increase the first component and reset the second to "1", while a minor version will just increase the second component.

If you click on the "History" button when viewing a page you can see all the versions that were previously saved and decide to compare versions together or set a given version as the current version:

You can also compare 2 versions and see the differences:
