Creating version while importing, copying and moving of documents

 Confirm File Replacement - Overwrite existing version |
Click on Yes button to overwrite the file. Click on Yes to All to overwrite all the existing files.
•When you select to overwrite the file, the current version of the file gets overwritten.

To create new version of the file, select the radio button next to it. This will change the appearance of the dialog box to as shown below:
 Confirm File Replacement - Create a new version |
Write a brief version note and click on Yes.
To create new version for all the existing files that are being imported, click on Yes to All button. This will add the same version notes to all the affected files.
For example: Consider a case where a file 'abc.xxx' has more than one version. Now, you choose to copy or move this file to some other location in Docsvault. Also at the destination, a file with the same name, 'abc.xxx' already exists and you choose to create a new version, then copying and moving behave differently in such a case.

•When a file is copied, a copy of the most recent version of source file is created at the destination. Also it gets the current version status at the destination.
•When a file is moved, all the versions of the source file are merged with the versions of the destination file. Also the most recent version of the source file acquires the current version status at the destination.
