What is version control / history?

When editing files in OneDrive, OneDrive will remember what the file was like before you saved it and also record the new changes you have made. With this “version” history, you can revert the file back to a previous state, say before someone unknowingly incorrectly edited the file.

A “version” is trigged when:

• When a file is first created or uploaded

• When the properties of a file are changed

• When an Office document is opened

• Periodically when editing and saving Office documents; not each individual edit or save will create new versions, especially when many occur in a short period of time

• When a new user opens the document

Version history works with all file types, including Microsoft365 files, PDFs, and images. Version history is also available for Sharepoint, including calendars and lists.
