SOP Version Control: What Actually Matters in 2026

Version control for SOPs means three things: seeing what an SOP said on a specific date, rolling back a bad edit, and proving sign-off for auditors. In 2026 the best implementations live in [Document360](/reviews/document360) and [SweetProcess](/reviews/sweetprocess); capture-first tools like [Haiku](/reviews/haiku) and [Scribe](/reviews/scribe) offer lighter edit history that's fine under 50 SOPs. Git technically works but the diff experience is awful for screenshot-heavy SOPs. Above 50 SOPs, or in any regulated setting, dedicated version control pays for itself.
