Document Version / Attachment Version

The Document & Attachment Version Control app helps you keep your files organized by automatically managing multiple versions of the same document. When you upload a file with the same name and type, the system saves it as a new version instead of overwriting the original. This way, every update is preserved and can be accessed whenever needed. To make navigation simple, the app provides two smart buttons, Previous Version and Next Version, so you can quickly move back and forth through a document’s history. With this streamlined process, your team can maintain accuracy, ensure traceability, and confidently manage documents without the risk of losing important information.



Features

Automatic Document Versioning

Every time a file with the same name and type is uploaded, the system creates a new version instead of overwriting. This ensures a complete, secure document history without losing critical data.

Full Version History & Easy Navigation

All revisions are safely stored and audit-ready. Users can quickly move between Previous and Next versions with smart buttons, making it simple to review, compare, and trace changes.

Secure & Traceable File Management

Maintain organized, compliant, and audit-ready attachments. Each file version includes metadata such as version number, creator, upload date, and linked business document.

Model-Specific Versioning Rules

Apply version control only to relevant records such as invoices, sales orders, or contracts. Exclude non-critical documents to keep file storage efficient and focused where it matters most.

Multi-Company Support with Odoo Integration

Configure versioning rules separately for each company. The app is fully integrated with Odoo attachments, ensuring smooth collaboration across departments without disrupting existing workflows.

The Attachment Form View provides complete details about a selected file, including its type, linked resource, and version history. With built-in navigation controls, users can seamlessly move between different document versions:

9.) Attachment Version with No Next Version

When a document is on its latest version, the Next Version button is hidden automatically, since there is no newer revision to display. In this state, only the Previous Version button is available, allowing users to navigate back to earlier revisions.

11.) Attachment Version Restriction Configuration

The Attachment Version Restriction Config menu gives administrators full control over automatic document versioning in Odoo. With this feature, you can define restricted models to exclude certain records such as invoices, sales orders, or contracts from version control. This ensures versioning is applied only where it adds value, helping companies maintain flexibility, avoid unnecessary file versions, and streamline document management for greater efficiency.


Navigation : Settings → Technical → Document Versioning → Document Version Restriction


Odoo Studio

12.) Company-Specific Restricted Models for Versioning

This configuration is company-specific, meaning each company can maintain its own restriction rules. Only one record can be assigned per company, ensuring precise control. If a user attempts to create multiple records for the same company, the system will display a warning message.
By adding models in the Restricted Model for Versioning list, administrators can prevent automatic document versioning on selected records such as journal entries, accounts, partners, or products. This allows businesses to exclude non-critical documents from version control, keeping versioning focused on essential files and reducing unnecessary file growth.



Odoo Studio

13.) Attachment Management with Automatic Version Tracking

The Attachments menu provides a centralized view of all files uploaded in the system, along with their version history. When users upload a file with the same name and extension, the system automatically creates a new version (v1.0, v2.0, v3.0, etc.) instead of overwriting the existing document. This ensures a complete and traceable document history. Each attachment record displays its linked model (such as invoices or products), version number, upload date, and related business document. This feature helps users easily identify the latest file, maintain audit-ready records, and ensure document accuracy across all departments.
