Every time a document is modified in Papermerge, the previous version is automatically preserved and checksummed. You always have access to the complete history — who changed what, and when. Versions follow a defined lifecycle: draft, archived, and expired — with deletion requiring explicit approval. Nothing is ever silently overwritten.
Key Benefits
- Automatic version snapshot on every modification — upload, page edit, or merge
- Every version is checksummed for cryptographic tamper detection
- Side-by-side comparison between any two versions
- Deletion requires explicit approval — accidental or unauthorized removal is prevented
