[Vtigercrm-developers] Managing versions in Document module

[praneeth K]

HI Manilal,

        vtiger Documents module does not act as DMS and track the version
changes. It is an interesting feature enhancement, we have noted it on
http://trac.vtiger.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/7209

We would like to hear from community developers who are interested to pick
up this feature.
