"Process versioning" refers to the systematic management and documentation of the different developmental stages of a business process. This function allows companies to track changes and adjustments to their processes, restore previous versions, and analyze the development trajectory.
Typical functions of software in the area of "process versioning" include:
Version History Tracking: Logging and storing all changes made to a process. This includes creating new versions with each change and the ability to view a detailed version history.
Rollback Function: The ability to revert to a previous version of a process if needed. This is particularly useful when a newly introduced change has undesirable effects.
Comparison of Versions: Tools to compare different process versions to clearly identify differences and changes. This helps to understand the exact scope and nature of the adjustments made.
Access Rights and Security: Managing access rights to ensure that only authorized personnel can make changes or restore previous versions.
Documentation and Comments: The ability to add comments and documentation to each process version to explain the reason for the changes and provide additional context.
