various features such as advanced deletion management,

00:00:09

complete onedrive restoration and detailed access

00:00:12

to version history for each file,

00:00:14

whether they are synchronised with your file Explorer or not,

00:00:18

the version history feature is one of the characteristics of cloud storage.

00:00:23

When your file is stored in your cloud library,

00:00:26

it automatically saves every modification.

00:00:29

Thus, it is possible to access the version history,

00:00:32

even if another collaborator has also modified it.

00:00:36

This feature is particularly useful for reverting

00:00:38

to a previous version of the document,

00:00:40

for example, to recover information that has been deleted.

00:00:44

To access the version history from Onedrive, you have two ways to do so.

00:00:49

First option.

00:00:50

Click on the three dots associated with the document in question,

00:00:53

then click on version history.

00:00:56

The version History Window opens on the right side of the screen,

00:01:00

allowing you to view the different existing versions of the document.

00:01:04

Several pieces of information are available.

00:01:06

First, the order of the different versions, which can go up to the 5/100

00:01:11

then the modification date of the item related to the version order

00:01:15

and finally, the name of the last collaborator to have modified the document.

00:01:20

Three actions can be performed from this version

00:01:23

history panel by clicking on the three dots,

00:01:26

The first option restore allows you to

00:01:28

restore the document to the selected version.

00:01:31

The second option open file allows you to view the item at

00:01:35

the selected version and verify the information before restoring the document.

00:01:40

The third option delete version allows you to delete a version of the document,

00:01:45

especially if it does not contain interesting information or modifications.

00:01:49

Alternatively,

00:01:50

the second option is to access the version history from the document itself.

00:01:55

To do this, open the document in question

00:02:00

and then click on file tab.

00:02:02

You will then be able to access the version history and revert to the

00:02:05

previous version of the document in the same way as from the onedrive interface.
