Description	If content has the aspect `versionable` applied to it, then multiple versions of the content can be managed. The VersionService provides an API to allow you to do this programmatically: createVersion - this creates a new version of the referenced node which is placed at the end of the appropriate version history. If the node has no version history then one is created and this version is considered to be the initial version. getVersionHistory - this gets the version history that relates to the node referenced. deleteVersionHistory - this deletes the version history for a versioned node. getCurrentVersion - gets the current version for a referenced node. revert - reverts the state of a referenced node to that of a previous node. restore - restores a previously deleted node from a version in its version history.
