This paper presents an application of an off-the-shelf software version control system (VCS) for supporting the different phases that naturally occur during product concept sketching. Concept development is a cognition-dominant activity that passes through repeating phases of creation (sketching), evaluation and planning. The contemplative phases promote diversification, modification, and interruptions in the activity of sketching. It is argued that VCS has the potential to support the natural process of concept development. Eight designers were involved in a pilot study to solve two distinct problems using conventional and VCS-mediated systems. It is found that VCS supports the explorative nature of conceptualization. Although it did not show much difference in the number of finished concepts, VCS aided the designers in the process of exploring multiple alternatives and effectively managed the natural and imposed interruptions. This paper includes a pictorial representation of the various concepts explored through concept sketching. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2023.
