How do you track course version history?

All the searches I have done on version history, change record, edit history, etc show that people have been asking for this for years, but it is not on the radar for implementation.  Huge miss for Articulate who should know that users working for large companies need to keep a record of the versions of a course for audit purposes.  Maybe they'll create this at some point.

Until Articulate creates a function to record & access version histories, I need to figure out a way to do it myself that satisfies our Quality department.  So far I have found 2 options:

1) Duplicate published courses & save one copy with a title indicating it is version history 1 or 2 or with the version publication date.  However, over time we could end up with a ton of copies of courses cluttering up the All Content view.  Not the end of the world, but not ideal.

2) Publish a published course to PDF and save it to a company drive.  This would mean any embedded videos are inaccessible unless a link to the video is included in the text.  

Is there a way to save a usable version of a course that I am missing? If I publish to the web will that version be updated if edits are made to the course in Rise 360?
