Hello Olga,

You can attach documents to a Wiki page, and afaik. those Attachments can be
versioned.

To link to an attachment from within the Wiki, you should use the form

[[attachment:WikiPage/file.name]]

To display attachments on a page, you can use

<<AttachList>>

From what I understand, attached files are searchable using the regular Wiki
search, but I do not know if this will work, e.g. for PDF and ODT files.

Here is some more documentation:

https://moinmo.in/HelpOnActions/AttachFile

I am not sure to what degree the Wiki will be suitable to act as a document
management system, but I would say it beats linking to various external file
hosters by a good length.
