document-versioning

Document versioning preserves past states by implementing a linear system with an active version and immutable milestones. It enables reliable restore, auditability, and reduced risk from edits in user-edited document applications.

A linear versioning system maintains a single mutable active version for the current state while freezing past states as immutable milestones. This approach safely separates editable content from permanent historical audit trails.

You can create before and after snapshots for AI operations by using manual milestones and optional AI-preserved before-states. The system provides a robust API to create, switch, rename, delete, and duplicate versions safely.

Yes, this document versioning approach applies to any application with user-edited documents where AI operations or edits require undo points, before/after snapshots, or audit trails, satisfying VersionService API requirements.

You manage version limits and session deduplication through configurable version enforcement settings. The system applies session deduplication to prevent redundant snapshots while safely handling switching, deleting, and duplicating versions.

A linear versioning system uses a single active version model rather than branching, meaning concurrent parallel edits are not natively supported. It relies on immutable milestones and configurable limits to manage historical states safely.
