Version management is active for all objects of the ABAP Workbench.

Version management serves different purposes and user groups:

• The developer can keep track of his or her work ("What have I changed?")

• The developer can restore a previous version by reactivating it.

• The system administrator can monitor work ("Which objects were changed and how in a specific time interval?")

• It provides a basis for any auditor who requires a complete history of changes.

• It enables customers to use the system to adjust data after they have upgraded to a new release.

You can access version management from the following:

• Object Navigator (SE80)

• Transport Organizer (SE09)

• Display and maintenance transactions for Repository objects.
