Managing Document Status at Original Document Levels

Hi dms gurus,

i know that we can manage the document at DIR level through the status, and create new versions of documents where the old version is kept with no change allowed.

However, in the version how one can esily know what changes been done to the originals ? for example, i'm to release a certain document, but don't know what originals been added, what originals been deleted, and what originals been modified ? unless i refer to the old version and compare, which is not practical specially when a document contains quite large number of originals.

is there a way to control such ? is there a way to control dms at original doc levels, for example any approved original document can no longer be deleted, etc...
