FAQ

Can everyone who receives the document see version history and collaboration records?

  1. First confirm whether the current user has edit permission for the document.
  2. Only users with edit permission can view the document's version history.
  3. If the Version History entry is not visible, check whether the document permissions meet the requirement.

Will restoring a historical version remove my current content?

  1. Restoring a version returns the document to the selected historical version.
  2. The current content is replaced by that version.
  3. If you still need the current edits, back them up first by using Save as or another method before restoring.

Does Version History support long-term retention?

  1. For important versions that need to be kept longer, rename them manually so they are easier to identify later.
  2. If you need to keep a version as a separate file, use Save as to create a new file.
  3. For key milestones, it is helpful to keep both a named version and a separate copy.
