Electronic Signature Versioning

What is versioning used for?

Versioning allows you to update signed content while preserving the history of all previous versions.

In the digital world, website content changes frequently. Thanks to versioning, you do not need to create a completely new signature code for every minor change. Instead, you create a new version under the original code.

• Continuity: Your document or page always keeps the same identifier (code).
• History: Anyone can view the history and verify how the text looked in the past.
• Credibility: Regular updates under the same code increase the weight of your digital fingerprint.

How are versions created?

Creating a new version is available to the signature owner. On the signature verification page, you will find the option to "Create a new version" if you are logged in as the author.

The process of creating a new version works the same way as the first signature – you enter the page URL or paste the text and perform the matching check.

Automatic redirection and version browsing

Our service always tries to direct users to the most up-to-date information:

• Base URL: If you access a URL without specifying a version (e.g. /code/ABCDEFGHIJ), you will be automatically redirected to the latest completed version.
• Versioned URL: If you want to display a specific version, use the format with a dot and the letter V (e.g. /code/ABCDEFGHIJ.v2). In this case, no redirection occurs and you will see exactly that version.
• Unfinished versions: Users (the public) are never redirected to versions that the author has not yet completed (signed).
