If you are familiar with the story of Hansel and Gretel, then you might recall that Hansel laid a trail of breadcrumbs for him and his sister to follow in order that they could find their way back home. Unfortunately, the breadcrumbs were eaten by hungry birds, and the two children ended up getting lost in the woods and eventually bumped into a rather nasty witch. The fact that they had no history of where they'd been, and subsequently no way to back track nearly led to their undoing.
One of the lessons learned from this fable, is that it's a good idea to have a permanent history that you can follow to see where you've been and what you've done. Online organization and collaboration solutions like OnePlace do this for you automatically. Like a dutiful scribe, they sit silently in the background recording your every move. And when you need to go back in time to see what was done and by whom, these solutions provide the time machine to follow the trail of edits exactly as they occurred.
