version control is one which is used normally for custom developemnts...whenever a request number is created a version gets generated...this is very much useful. if previous version is working fine & latest version has been moved which is causing an error then the previous version is retrieved and been used.

version control helps us in creating versions for the code we write.

say for example we write a code today say it as version1.

tomorrow we edit and save that as version2.

after a week, we have a requirement to rollback the code. in that cases practically it is a tedious job. so, if we have maintained versions, we can roll that back to previuos code at anytime we need.

for example:

u cn see the versions for a program by opening the source code in displaymode.

utilities>versions>version management

thanks
