| 2 | Rollback after mistakes | Table owners | Current content was overwritten by mistake | Use Restore This Version in the version panel |
| 3 | Milestone retention | Project leads | Important stages are difficult to identify later | Rename key historical versions |
| 4 | Version backup export | Users who archive files | You want to keep an old version without replacing the current file | Use Save As to create a separate file |
| 5 | Version cleanup | Users managing cloud storage | Old versions take up storage space | Delete versions that are no longer needed |
