Versioning

The versioning feature of Writer tracks multiple versions of the document that have been saved by date and user. Go to FILE then VERSIONS, and you will get a pop-up window that lists all of the versions that have been saved (figure 19). Each version can be saved individually, and notes can be added to explain the changes to the version. You can check “Always save a version on closing,” to make sure all versions are saved and nothing important is deleted. The COMPARE feature will highlight changes from the selected version and compare them to the current document.
