When using Version History, users usually ask about 3 areas: why the entry is missing, how to keep important versions, and what to check before restoring; this section includes 4 common questions.
FAQ
Why can’t I see the Version History entry?
- Confirm that the current file has already been saved to WPS Cloud.
- Make sure you opened a supported cloud document instead of a file stored only locally.
- Keep the network available, then open “≡ > Backup & Restore” again and check whether “Version History” appears.
Can saved versions be kept for a long time?
- Rename important versions if you want to keep key milestones easier to identify.
- Use “Save As & Open” when you want to keep an older version as a separate file.
- Keep clear names for important versions so they are easier to find later.
What should I do if saved versions take up too much space?
- Review the Version History list and identify versions that are no longer needed.
- Clean up large or low-value versions first.
- Before deleting a version, confirm that you will not need to restore or save it later.
What should I check before restoring a version?
- Preview the target version first and confirm that the content is correct.
- Check the version name or time so you do not restore the wrong one.
- If you only want to keep older content without replacing the current file, use “Save As &Open” first.
