Version Tracking

If you do not want to use version tracking in your repository, or if you have alrady enabled version control for all documents you want to track, you can prevent users from placing additional documents under version control.  This will prevent them from enabling version tracking on documents, and it will also prevent them from configuring any additional folders to track versions on new documents.

This feature will not disable version control on any documents that already have it enabled, nor will it remove the Track Versions for New Documents setting from any folders that already have it. The Track Versions for New Documents setting can be manually disabled on individual folders in the Laserfiche Windows or web client. It is not possible to remove a document from version control once version control has been enabled.

To prevent version tracking for documents not currently under version control

  1. Start the Laserfiche Administration Console.
  2. In the console tree, expand the desired Laserfiche Server item.
  3. Select the desired Laserfiche repository.
  4. If security has been enabled on the selected repository, log in as a user with the Manage Repository Configuration privilege.
  5. Expand the Repository Options node.
  6. Select the Settings node.
  7. From the Action menu, select Properties. The Settings dialog box will appear.
  8. On the General tab, in the Version Tracking option, select the Prevent users from placing documents under version control option.
  9. Click OK to save your new settings.
