  Key Concepts: 
  A version number is a unique identifier assigned to a specific version of a software program. In SAP, version numbers are used to identify the different versions of a component, such as BC-DOC-DTL Documentation Tools. Version numbers are typically composed of two or more numbers separated by periods, such as 1.0 or 2.3.4.
  
  How to use it: 
  Version numbers are used to track changes in software components over time. When a new version of a component is released, the version number is incremented to indicate that the component has been updated. This allows users to easily identify which version of the component they are using and determine if they need to upgrade to the latest version.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When working with version numbers, it is important to remember that the first number indicates the major version, while subsequent numbers indicate minor versions. For example, if the version number is 2.3.4, then this indicates that it is the fourth minor version of the third major version of the component.
