Hi @Phaidon294857876egp , Also for version control you might look at your Creative Cloud Sync folder which stores incremental saves of your documents. Any file you save into your local user>Creative Cloud Files folder will automatically sync to your cloud account. If you right click the file and choose View On Website there is a Timeline option. In this example I can get past saved versions:

Not really. There's always Git Large File Storage, It'll store text pointers in your git that lead to offsite storage, so it'll let you do file versioning in git if that's your intent. Here's a post I cribbed off of to set it up, some years ago.

I have seen version control of text content only with git. Text was stored on Github in Markdown, which was then converted into .icml files via pandoc. Those .icml files can be placed and linked in InDesign. I liked that a lot; the dev people got their granular versioning, but they couldn't mess with the graphical stuff. (That was good because allowing the devs to make decisions about visual stuff like logo placement or complementary color was a massive time-sink. Like, insufferable art school freshmen who were all being paid $300k+/yr to argue about color theory.)
