ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for maintaining and controlling different versions of electronic files in a distributed server environment. As such, one embodiment, among others, accesses a local file and compares the local file to a master file. The local file has a local file identifier, which comprises a name portion and a version number portion. The master file has a master file identifier, which comprises a name portion and a version number portion. The name portion of the master file identifier is substantially identical to the name portion of the local file identifier.
