• Key Concepts: 
  Strict versioning is a feature of SAP Document Management Services (DMS) that ensures that only one version of a document is active at any given time. This means that when a document is updated, the previous version is automatically archived and the new version becomes the active version. This helps to ensure that all users are working with the same version of the document.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use strict versioning, you must first enable it in the DMS settings. Once enabled, any changes made to a document will automatically create a new version and archive the old one. This ensures that all users are working with the same version of the document.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using strict versioning, it is important to keep track of which version of a document is active. This can be done by checking the “version history” tab in DMS. This tab will show all versions of a document and which one is currently active.
