The problem: the wrong version of the file
Engineering files get copied and renamed until nobody is sure which is current. Version control keeps one source of truth.
Files saved as "final_v3_revised" on shared drives make it hard to know which drawing or procedure is approved. When someone works from an old version, the error often isn't caught until a part is built or a batch is made.
What this demo shows
- Organize documents in folders with inherited access permissions.
- Upload a new draft while the current version stays unchanged.
- Promote the draft.
- Preview earlier versions from the document's history.
Why it matters
Nobody should have to ask whether they're looking at the approved version. Drafts that sit alongside the current version, and promote only when ready, keep work in progress away from the record others rely on.
Folder-level permissions and a full version history also give auditors and new team members a clear view of how a document changed and who could change it.

The Uncountable PLM suite keeps your engineering documents under version control. Files live in folders and folder access passes down to every file inside. Each document shows its version and state. Upload a new draft, the current version stays unchanged. Promote it and the draft becomes version 2.0. Every earlier version stays in history, ready to preview.
Every document, every version, one PLM suite.
