LlamaIndex does not natively support document version control. It focuses primarily on indexing documents and integrating with language models to facilitate improved search, retrieval, and querying of information. However, you can implement your own version control system outside of LlamaIndex to manage document versions and then use LlamaIndex to index the final version or specific snapshots of your documents. This separation allows you to take advantage of both document control and LlamaIndex's indexing capabilities.
To manage document versioning effectively, you can use a version control system like Git. For example, you can maintain a repository for your documents and create separate commits for each version, providing a clear history of changes. When working on a project, you could take the latest version of a document from your repository and index it using LlamaIndex to make it searchable. If you need to refer to older versions, you can easily check out a previous commit in your Git repository and re-index that specific version if necessary.
While LlamaIndex does not provide built-in version control, it can complement your existing workflow. You might want to set up a process where each time you finalize a document version, you also run an indexing operation with LlamaIndex. This way, you can ensure that you are always working with the most relevant documents while keeping a clear and reliable versioning system in place. By combining LlamaIndex with version control practices, you can create a cohesive system for managing documents and their versions effectively.
