Track and manage information over time with versioning in SharePoint lists and libraries. View and restore previous versions from the item’s history.
If versioning is enabled in your SharePoint list or library, you can save, track, and restore list items and library files as they change. Versioning, combined with other settings such as check-out, gives you a great deal of control over the content published on your website and can provide real value if you ever need to view or restore an older version of an item or file.
Why should you enable versioning in a SharePoint list or library? Good question, versioning allows you to keep the changes you’ve made to items. You can keep small (drafts) and large drafts. Simply put, a minor version is something that needs to be verified before it is converted to a major version and published for all your users. You also have the ability to choose how many minor or major versions you want to keep. It is important to remember that each version is essentially a copy of your article (or document). So, if you keep more than 10 versions of a larger item, it may take up more space on your SharePoint site. Now that you have the basics, let’s turn this feature on.
