Versions

What Is Versions?

Versions is a complete design version control tool for professional designers in the design-tools category. It provides a dedicated system to manage iterations of design files, addressing limitations in tools like Figma or Sketch where infinite canvases complicate version tracking. As a freemium tool, Versions enables users to track changes at the screen or artboard level, publish finalized designs, and maintain clarity across teams without relying on duplicate files or complex naming conventions.

What Versions Does

• Publishes locked design versions to indicate readiness for development and prevent unintended edits.
• Supports commit messages to document specific changes and their reasons between versions.
• Maintains design version history for reviewing and reverting to previous iterations.
• Allows comparison of versions to identify updates at the screen or component level.
• Integrates with design tools to centralize version management separate from creation workflows.
• Provides a single source of truth for design assets, reducing risks from scattered file versions.

How Versions Can Be Used

Versions fits into design workflows by allowing designers to create versions on demand rather than relying on autosaves. In a typical scenario, a designer finalizes screens in Figma, publishes them to Versions as locked versions with commit messages explaining updates, such as "Updated button states for accessibility." Developers then access the exact version intended for implementation, while stakeholders review history to track iterations without digging through file layers.

• Teams use it during handoff to share precise design versions, avoiding rework from mismatched files.
• For collaborative projects, it centralizes feedback on specific versions, with history enabling audits of changes.
• In iterative cycles, designers revert to prior versions to experiment without disrupting the main workflow.
• Large teams employ it for branching designs, similar to code version control, to manage parallel development paths.

Who Is Versions For?

Versions serves professional designers, design teams, and developer handoff processes where precise version tracking is essential. It suits UI/UX designers working on iterative projects in tools like Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD, as well as collaborative environments involving multiple stakeholders. Experience levels range from mid-level professionals handling complex iterations to senior teams managing large-scale design systems. Developers benefit from clear, locked references during implementation. Creative agencies and product teams facing version sprawl find it applicable for maintaining audit trails and reducing errors in design-to-code transitions.Visit Versions
