Document Library supports versioning.


Document Library Owner can switch on the version on the settings.

When you enable versioning, you may need to review and plan about the hard-disk space on the server.



Owner can set how many versions will be kept in the system. Setting to 0, it means there is no limit to versioning.


Following screenshot is version history of document:




How does version number works?

System version number use following format "Major version"."Minor Version".

Major version is the published version.
Minor version is the draft version.

For example; version 0.1 means the document is in draft mode.
Version 1.0 (or 2.0, 3.0 and so on) means document have been published.



Which versions stored in history?

System stores the latest documents and remove the oldest versions.

Let's assume we set the version history up to 3 versions.


User upload for first time, version in history is "1.0".
User upload for second time, version in history are "1.0" and "2.0"
User upload for third time, version in history are "1.0", "2.0" and "3.0"
User upload for fourth time, version in history are "2.0", "3.0" and "4.0". Version "1.0" is no longer available in the system.
