You can control what actions your collaborators can take on your project by assigning different permissions levels. You can also assign different permissions to contributors in different components of a project. This article explains how to use this fine-grained control to make the most of the OSF.

The OSF has built-in version control and records changes to files over time. When you add a new version of a file with the same name to your OSF project, the OSF automatically updates the file and maintains a record of all previous versions stored on OSF Storage.

The OSF also provides access to previous versions of files stored on third-party storage providers. Some storage providers limit the number of previous versions saved; check with your storage provider to understand their policies and practices related to versioning.
