Enable Versions
Business Background
Versioning allows you to create and store multiple snapshots or iterations of your website, enabling you to revert to previous versions if needed and keep a record of changes for reference or collaboration purposes.
Track and manage changes made to the website over time.
Titan Solution
The Enable Versions option lets you save and manage your project versions in Titan. You can compare the versions to follow the project’s progress or revisit older versions. If necessary, you can revert to previous versions and export data about the version to a CSV file.
With Titan, you can also integrate and save versions directly in GitHub.
