This picture shows the case of bad version control resulting from email collaboration. Shows: A creating Version 1 (V1) of a document and sharing it with B and C for commenting, who subsequently return V2 each. A compiles these into V3 before returning to B and C. However, C forwarded their comments on V1 to D (as V2C) who subsequently passes it onto others resulting in G having a completely different V3 than the bone fide document.
