Version Control is sometimes internal to a software application or tool. Users of OpenOffice LibreOffice Writer will be familiar with how you can open a document sent by a colleague, turn on "track changes" and then your edits to the document will be clearly shown so that you can send the document back to the orginal original author to provide feedback and the opportunity to merge changes in a friendly, efficient manner.
Version Control in a software development environment is a large part of the infrastructure that makes software development possible -- because it provides the same feedback and opportunity to merge changes in a friendly, efficient manner. The tools that software developers use are CVS, [[Subversion]], Mercurial and Git or others.
