Version Control Systems (VCS)

Version Control Systems (VCS) are tools that help manage changes to documents or files over time. They allow multiple people to collaborate on projects without losing previous versions or changes. VCS tracks who made changes, when they were made, and what those changes are, making it easy to review, revert, or merge updates. This is especially useful in software development but can apply to any project with documents. Popular examples include Git and Subversion, which improve team efficiency, reduce conflicts, and ensure that important work is preserved and organized.
