• Key Concepts: 
  Format versioning is a feature of SAP Document Management Services (DMS) that allows users to store multiple versions of a document in the same file. This feature allows users to keep track of changes made to a document over time, and also provides an easy way to revert back to an earlier version if needed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use format versioning, users must first enable the feature in the DMS configuration. Once enabled, users can create multiple versions of a document by selecting the “Create Version” option from the DMS menu. The new version will be stored in the same file as the original document, and can be accessed by selecting the “View Versions” option from the DMS menu. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a new version of a document, it is important to give it a descriptive name so that it can be easily identified later. Additionally, it is recommended that users save their documents frequently when making changes, as this will make it easier to revert back to an earlier version if needed.
