versions apply to digital assets and their respective metadata.
Versioning can involve updating, editing or changing assets
and/or metadata safely. A version often involves a correction or
an improvement by editing. Versions are not variations nor
renditions Be careful not to mix up the concept of versions vs.
variations vs. renditions. Versions in a DAM are important to
maintain control over edits. We should be able to have full
control of versions and accountability of the version history so
we can save/restore older versions if an error is made. Older
versions can remain available as needed. There is rarely one
true “final” asset, but rather multiple assets with variations,
depending on the use or situation, which may be used in
different places. It is highly possible to have different
versions of the same asset. We may also need different
renditions of an asset which may have different file ty
