1. A container-processing system comprising:
at least one container-processing machine for processing containers, wherein at least one container-processing machine comprises a type memory in which different setting-value data sets for a type of processing to be performed by the container-processing machine are stored and are selectable for processing the containers; and
at least one management device for managing the storing of the setting-value data sets, wherein the at least one management device is configured,
in the event of creation of one of the setting-value data sets, to generate a main version of the data set and to assign a status to the main version, wherein the status informs about the present editing situation of the data set, and wherein the status results from a situation which occurs when creating the data set until the current use of the data set in the production in the container-processing system,
to retain the main version, in case a change is made to the main version without a change in the status, and
to additionally establish, for the change to the main version, at least one secondary version having the status of the main version;
to set a scope of access to the main version and to the at least one secondary version by an operator of the at least one container-processing machine in dependence on the status and a predefined authorization of the operator, and
to assign to each newly created setting-value data set a status (A) in which also to the operator, who has all authorizations to edit the data set, is displayed a note when editing the data set, the note indicating that the data set can cause damages to the at least one container-processing machine.
