Feature Request: Overwrite document should save overwritten copy to recycle bin

asked on October 18, 2016

We have several requests for this and about this. Customers used to using Windows Previous Versions as a means of protecting against accidental overwrites or saving a corrupted file over top of a good copy are asking if there's any way to restore something accidentally overwritten in laserfiche. My answer is that you use version control for that but that would mean that most everything needs to be version controlled then. Is that the best answer if version control is not needed for any other purpose? Could the Recycle Bin feature be leveraged as a future option to say that overwritten documents get their overwritten copy moved to the recycle bin to be managed as any other deleted file?

Would there be any problem with using version tracking of those documents? Then when they try to replace the existing file, they'll get a prompt to either create a new document, or create a new version. Then you have the option of restoring prior versions.

We do use version tracking but the thought is a lot more "universal" than that. It means basically that in order to have confidence that we'd need to enable version tracking on the entire repository. I suppose we can do that. Thanks for the reply.
