Starting in WebGUI 7.6 you now have more options than ever for committing your version tags.

There's "commit automatically", which we've had for a while now. There's also "multiple version tags per user", which is the way it's always been done.

But now you also have "one site-wide version tag", which means that all committers are always using the same version tag. This is helpful on smaller sites where you want to use versioning, but don't want to be confused by simultaneous open versions. As soon as someone makes an edit they're automatically attached to the one version tag.

And there's also "single version tag per user", which is just like it sounds, and each user gets his own version tag. Again, as soon as each user makes an edit they're automatically attached to this version tag. This is useful on larger sites where you have lots of users that you don't want trampling on each other, but where you also don't want your users to have to "manage" multiple version tags.

Finally, there's one more option. Each user has a user profile preference to override all four of these options on a per user basis. So if most of your site needs "commit automatically", but you are a power user and want to make use of version tags, you get the best of both worlds.
