• Key Concepts: 
  Document version is a feature of the SAP Document Management System (CA-DMS) that allows users to store multiple versions of a document. This feature allows users to keep track of changes made to a document over time, and to easily revert back to an earlier version if needed.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the document version feature, users must first create a document in the CA-DMS. Once the document is created, users can save multiple versions of the document by clicking on the “Save Version” button. This will create a new version of the document with a unique version number. Users can then view and compare different versions of the document by selecting them from the “Version History” tab.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a new version of a document, it is important to give it a meaningful name that will help you identify it later. For example, if you are making changes to a customer order form, you could name the new version “Customer Order Form - Updated”. This will make it easier to find and compare different versions of the same document.
