In many use cases there is no version of resources. This goes for fileless resources, but also for external or internal download. Its obvious that the RM was created with a software marketplace in mind, but its often used to host file downloads that will never change. There is no versioning.
Many sites that I know just host documents or link to external web pages. Once the entry is added, the entry does not change ever. In such case there is no use for a version tab or a version string.
Please add a category option to disable versioning.This would disable:
I am not 100% sure if this request should be considered a suggestion or a bug, because showing the version tab and version for entries that have no versioning, results in confusing users with mandatory functions that they can do nothing with. Some users will just give up in frustration.
There have been quite a few questions and requests for this feature. Here is one example that attracted 11 votes:
