I've been getting confused about this too. I had assumed that Plone would take care of that and keep an audit trail of what had happened when, but it doesn't seem to.
Ideally, you should be able to track the history of a document and access old versions, but I guess that functionality isn't there yet.
You can make Plone do that (keep old versions of files), but the zope DB would grow really big. This is bad because it would hurt performance. A while ago peple complained that the website was unusable because it was slow. Also, this would make backups more problematic.
I'll look around Plone.org and see if I find a product that can give us some ammount of revision management, without as many of the drawbacks.
Cheers,
Thanks Daniel,
I can understand if the product has problems coping with multiple versions of the same file, but other features would be useful.
Having one entry in Plone for one file, so you can look at the meta-info for a chapter and have a full history of who checked it out and in and put it up for review and when they did it would be great.
As far as I can see, we currently treat each version of a chapter as a totally new document as far as Plone is concerned, so this sort of history isn't possible.
Iain.
