Versions and history functionality in Vuforia Editor automatically captures an immutable record of the state of a procedure every time a change or edit is completed. All changes are tracked and displayed in the Versions and History table which represents the chronological history of the procedure from the time it is created. All entries in the VERSIONS AND HISTORY table (changes, versions, and releases) can be viewed and restored, but cannot be altered or deleted. Version and history functionality in Vuforia Editor provides you with absolute confidence that work will never be lost, and ensures complete transparency into who did what and when throughout the entire lifecycle of a procedure.

A version can be created to mark a key progress or collaboration milestone of the procedure. A description can be added to provide a contextual record of change, state, or requirements.

For example, if you created a procedure and are ready to have it reviewed, you might create a version to capture the state of the procedure at that moment in time, and you might use the Description field to provide context around the significance of that version. Once you receive feedback from the reviewer and incorporate changes, you might want to create another version to mark the milestone of finishing the work based on that feedback. Creating these different versions can help to clearly define key authoring milestones in the Versions and History table and enables you to document additional context around the state of the procedure at that particular point in time.
