FAQ

Why can't I see version history or collaboration records?

1. Make sure the file you opened is a smart document.
2. Confirm that your account has the required permission for that document.
3. Open File, then History, then Version History again to check whether the entry is available.
4. If it is still unavailable, check your network connection and reopen the document.

What happens to the current content after I restore an older version?

1. Before restoring, decide whether you need to keep the current content.
2. If you do, save or back up the current document first.
3. After you choose Restore This Version, the document returns to the selected historical version.
4. When the restore is complete, continue editing or save the result as a new file.

Can I keep historical versions for a long time?

1. Rename important versions first so they are easier to identify later.
2. If you need to keep a stage separately, use Save As to create a new file from that version.
3. Review the version list regularly and keep the versions that still matter to your work.
