You may have heard the term version control before and it’s an awesome technology, especially if you are a developer working within a team.

But still, the version control concept is not familiar with designers. Thankfully we see in the design industry that a lot has changed.

Designers are now starting to think about version control and this isn’t just about history panel or undo command in Photoshop. This more than that, having a more organised version of your works which can be shared with others.

In this post, I have found some tools that can be used for design version control software for designers.

1. Kactus

2. Abstract

3. Pics.io

4. Plant

5. Git Sketch Plugin
