01
Upload the same file — versioning is automatic
The moment you upload a new file with the same name, Managelify marks it as a new version automatically. No folder clutter, no manual labels — the version chain builds itself.
Feature · Version Tracking
Not versions — history.
Every file's full history is kept; who uploaded what and when is transparent. Roll back to an older version in one click; Mana AI summarises the diff between two versions in natural language.

PROBLEM
'Final v3 final.pdf' — the pain everyone knows.
Six versions, six names, one ambiguity. Which file is current? Which version went to the customer? The designer asks for the old version — it doesn't come back. Version chaos slows work and damages trust.
DRIVE & ONEDRIVE
Six files with the same name: 'final', 'final-v2', 'final-final', 'final-final-real'. Which is current? No one knows — the wrong version goes to the customer.
WHATSAPP & EMAIL
The designer sends the new version by mail, the customer approves the old one. No rollback, no audit trail, blame is always blurry.
LOCAL DRIVE
Whoever deletes an old version can't bring it back. The customer says 'let's go back to the previous design' — no file, no memory, the work is redone.
MANUAL FOLDER ARCHIVE
A separate folder for every version. After 30 versions the archive is unreadable — who, when, what changed is unclear.
NOTION ATTACHMENTS
Beautiful docs but no file versioning. When you upload a new file the old one is replaced; rollback is at the 'are you sure you want to delete?' level.
GIT / ENGINEERING SIDE
Engineers have Git; but designers, account managers and customers don't have a usable versioning system — chaos is just pushed outside the codebase.
One flow · WRM
Auto versioning + comparison + rollback + AI.
Drive keeps versions; but it has no context, comparison or summary. Managelify ties every version to a project, customer and task context. We call it Work Relationship Management (WRM) — you manage the history of the relationship, not just versions.

02
All versions on a timeline
Each file has a vertical timeline below it: who, when, which version, how much changed. Not just looking at the past — reading it.
03
Compare & roll back in one click
Compare two versions side by side; if needed, set a previous version as 'active'. The old version isn't deleted — it goes idle and can be brought back any time.

Let Mana AI summarise the change
Mana AI explains the difference between two versions in natural language. 'Pricing table updated, 2 new clauses added in this version' — you know what changed without reading the diff.
DEPTH
Auto versioning, audit trail, rollback and AI.
Drive stores versions and stops there. Managelify pairs versions with context, compares, recalls and summarises them — closing the loop.

ENHANCERS
Not storing — reading, comparing, recalling.
A version = the story of a relationship
A version isn't just a file; it's the story of how work evolved. Managelify ties versions not to a file but to a project, customer and task context — history becomes readable.
Not undo — return
Instead of deleting an old version, you set it as 'active'. No data is ever lost; every version remains accessible. The fear of mistakes goes away.
Customers see only the latest version
Show the team the full history, but show the customer only the version you've approved. Confusion, wrong approvals and old-version delivery — left in the past.
Mana AI = version reader
Mana explains the diff between two versions: '3 clauses changed, pricing updated.' You know what changed without reading the version yourself.
Reads the version — summarises the diff.
Mana AI explains the diff between two versions in natural language. It flags changed clauses in contracts, alerts on scope changes in briefs and describes the diff in images. It suggests milestones for over-versioned files — you know what changed without reading the version yourself.

WHO IT'S FOR
Solo to team — every version finds its place.
Freelancer
When the client says 'let's go back to the previous design' — no panic.
Every time you deliver a design, Managelify keeps a version. When the client says '3 versions ago we liked that one', you bring it back in a second. No redoing work, no missing memory.
Agency
Transparent contract & quote versions, clean audit trail.
Every revision of the contract is recorded; who changed which clause and when is clear. When the customer says 'we never discussed this clause', the version history answers. Legal safety, institutional memory.
Startup & B2B team
Briefs, product docs, presentations — version chaos is over.
A product brief goes through 12 versions; each is stored in context. New team members read the history, Mana AI summarises what changed. Onboarding accelerates, institutional knowledge isn't lost.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Clear answers on Version Tracking.
What exactly does Managelify Version Tracking do?
When you upload a file with the same name to Managelify, a new version is created automatically; the old one isn't lost — it stays on the timeline. Each version records who uploaded it and when; you can compare two versions and set an old version as 'active' in one click. The 'Final v3 final.pdf' chaos, wrong-version deliveries and manual archiving leave your workflow.
Is the version history unlimited?
Yes. All versions of a file are kept in Managelify; there are no plan-based limits. You can define a policy that auto-archives very old versions (e.g. compress versions older than 12 months), but unless you delete them, every version is always accessible.
How do I roll back to an older version?
Pick the version you want from the file's timeline and click 'set active'. The old version becomes the current one; the previous current goes idle but isn't deleted. You can also copy a version into a new file with one click — minutes, not hours.
Can I compare two versions?
Yes. For text-based files (PDF, Word, contracts, briefs) you get clause-by-clause comparison; for image files, side-by-side preview. Mana AI summarises the difference in natural language — 'Pricing table updated, 2 new clauses added in this version'.
Which version does the customer see?
You decide. While the team sees the full version history, the customer sees only the 'approved final version'. Wrong-version deliveries and old-version approvals are eliminated. You can also 'final-lock' a version to prevent any new version from being uploaded over it.
Can I recover a deleted file?
Yes. Deleted files stay in the recycle bin for 30 days; an authorised user can restore them in one click. The version history comes back with them. Accidental deletion isn't a permanent problem in Managelify.
What does Mana AI do for version tracking?
Mana AI summarises the diff between two versions, flags changed clauses across contract revisions and warns about scope changes across brief versions. It notices over-versioned files and suggests milestones. You don't have to read the version — Mana brings the summary, you approve.
How are audit trails and GDPR handled?
Every version is logged with who uploaded, opened, downloaded and approved it. Audit trail reports export as CSV and PDF. All versions are stored encrypted (at-rest & in-transit); GDPR-compliant retention policies can be defined. Full transparency for legal and corporate audits.
