Hi Neha,
We can enable versioning on the entire site as well right?
Actually I have a requirement to modify the entire site contents like masterpage, some data in pages etc in a live Moss site.
So ,here can I enable versioning on the site itself and make whatever changes I need,and finally apply that version if everything is fine , else go back to version?
If this is possible,pls let me know the procedure how can I do
this ??
Thanks !!

@King : Thanks.
What’s the difference between major and minor versions?
@Charlie : Major versions define the final content and are taken care of during the deployment.. Minr versions aren’t…
