If a firm is requesting that Version Control be enabled for their GoFileRoom database, enter a Resolver Request that includes the Firm ID and Database ID. Leave your ticket open and follow up with the firm once the Resolver has processed the request. Once Version Control is enabled for their database, they may activate versioning on each drawer they want to have that functionality.
