I wanted to make a Document management system for my self with using document set because each document No related to 2 or 3 files.
I want also can manage versions of each document set and users can see all major version in view that I make.
Now for implementing this scenario I have added a metadata to document library it’s name is (version_new) and when i first time add a document no SharePoint automatically sets value for version_new to 1 and if there is document no before it sets value to max (version_new)+1.
Now I want to know for implementation this scenario this method I want to use is correct or no?
Or I have to use Another methods like activating versioning setting of SharePoint ?can I made a view that I have access to all version of document no (each document set) by using versioning setting of SharePoint.
Please guide me in this regard because I do not know for solving my problem I have to use activating versioning setting of SharePoint or I have to manually add another metadata like(version_new) ?
If I have to use version setting of SharePoint I have problem with versioning of document set because it does not version automatically by SharePoint and I do not know how to make a view that shows all major versions to users?

Hi @Masoud1313
In the document library settings, under Versioning settings you can specify whether a version is created each time you edit a file in this document library.

I hope this helps.
