+### Document Versioning
+The [version field](#built-in-schema-fragments) of a model is incremented each
+time it is saved, starting at 0 for un-saved models. the `.save()` and
+`.remove()` methods check that the version in the database is the same as the
+current one using a [Condition
+Expression](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/Expressions.ConditionExpressions.html)
+before updating or deleting the data (they fail with an error if the version
+does not match).
