7 +As the image shows, the document version consists of two numbers, separated by a dot: <tt>&lt;Major&gt;.&lt;Minor&gt;</tt>. The XWiki versioning system allows the distinction between major and minor edits.

Saving a major version will increase the first component and reset the second to "1", while a minor version will just increase the second component.
