1
00:00:03,940 --> 00:00:05,410
[Autogenerated] high in this lesson. I'm

2
00:00:05,410 --> 00:00:07,090
going to show you how to view major

3
00:00:07,090 --> 00:00:09,210
versions of documents in a document

4
00:00:09,210 --> 00:00:12,390
library. We're going to go ahead now and

5
00:00:12,390 --> 00:00:16,240
go to our job descriptions library and

6
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:19,510
talk about version ing. Now Version ING is

7
00:00:19,510 --> 00:00:21,870
in play in every document library in the

8
00:00:21,870 --> 00:00:24,370
SharePoint team site every time a new one

9
00:00:24,370 --> 00:00:26,370
is created and in the default document

10
00:00:26,370 --> 00:00:29,510
library version, ING is at play now.

11
00:00:29,510 --> 00:00:32,460
Version ing means that every time a

12
00:00:32,460 --> 00:00:37,210
document is edited, a new version of that

13
00:00:37,210 --> 00:00:41,850
document is created, and SharePoint stores

14
00:00:41,850 --> 00:00:44,920
the older versions of that document as

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:50,190
well. Now this is major versions by

16
00:00:50,190 --> 00:00:53,240
default. Major version ING has turned out

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,800
We have the ability to create major and

18
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,140
minor versions. But that's another lesson

19
00:00:58,140 --> 00:01:01,090
for another day. By default on Lee, major

20
00:01:01,090 --> 00:01:04,020
versions are enabled. Let's go ahead and

21
00:01:04,020 --> 00:01:06,530
let's take a look at this accountant job

22
00:01:06,530 --> 00:01:08,950
description document. We're gonna go over

23
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:11,930
here to show actions, and from our list,

24
00:01:11,930 --> 00:01:15,300
we're gonna choose version history. This

25
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:17,840
is going to show us all of the major

26
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,120
versions off this document and you'll see

27
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,490
that there are eight of them. That means

28
00:01:22,490 --> 00:01:25,000
that this document has been edited seven

29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,780
times, and we have the original version

30
00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:29,800
version one, which was either creative in

31
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,870
SharePoint or uploaded to it. Now, when we

32
00:01:33,870 --> 00:01:36,060
hover over one of these versions, you see

33
00:01:36,060 --> 00:01:39,590
that we have this little drop down, which

34
00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:41,820
when we click on it, it gives us options

35
00:01:41,820 --> 00:01:45,430
to view restore and elite. That version

36
00:01:45,430 --> 00:01:48,240
will look at those in just a second. We

37
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,170
see who modified the document. In other

38
00:01:51,170 --> 00:01:55,220
words, who created those versions the size

39
00:01:55,220 --> 00:01:58,580
of the document? And if they added

40
00:01:58,580 --> 00:02:02,190
comments, if when the document was edited,

41
00:02:02,190 --> 00:02:04,450
it had been checked out, you get an option

42
00:02:04,450 --> 00:02:07,740
to create comments. Let's go ahead and

43
00:02:07,740 --> 00:02:10,580
let's view one of these versions. We're

44
00:02:10,580 --> 00:02:13,420
going to click on version five and click

45
00:02:13,420 --> 00:02:16,340
on the view button, and this is what we

46
00:02:16,340 --> 00:02:18,660
get now. This isn't exactly what you

47
00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:21,610
expected, is it? You were hoping for a

48
00:02:21,610 --> 00:02:24,040
version of the entire document so you

49
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,710
could see what it looked like in this

50
00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:29,830
older version. Well, we can't do that like

51
00:02:29,830 --> 00:02:31,830
this. We need to do that. Another wait. So

52
00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:36,650
we're gonna close this, and we're actually

53
00:02:36,650 --> 00:02:41,080
gonna open up the document now we are in

54
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,730
word online. Unfortunately, there's also

55
00:02:45,730 --> 00:02:48,480
no way to go ahead and look at older

56
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,670
versions of the document inward online. If

57
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:54,730
I go to my file menu and I click on my

58
00:02:54,730 --> 00:02:58,110
info tab, there is no option here to check

59
00:02:58,110 --> 00:03:01,890
the versions. You have to do that in the

60
00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:05,660
desktop version of word. Now we have that

61
00:03:05,660 --> 00:03:08,010
installed on this computer, so I'm gonna

62
00:03:08,010 --> 00:03:12,040
go over here and click on open inward.

63
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:17,010
It's gonna open up Microsoft Word for me.

64
00:03:17,010 --> 00:03:20,540
And now I'm going to go to the file menu

65
00:03:20,540 --> 00:03:24,810
on the info page. I see version history

66
00:03:24,810 --> 00:03:26,590
in. If I click on view and restore

67
00:03:26,590 --> 00:03:29,960
previous versions, I get the version

68
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,310
history over here on the right. I can now

69
00:03:33,310 --> 00:03:36,450
pick a version and look at it. I'm gonna

70
00:03:36,450 --> 00:03:40,670
pick this one. This was version five by

71
00:03:40,670 --> 00:03:42,930
Gary Coulson, and I'm gonna click on open

72
00:03:42,930 --> 00:03:46,360
version. And there is this version of the

73
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,790
document and we see well, there's a

74
00:03:48,790 --> 00:03:52,380
problem with it here, isn't there? So this

75
00:03:52,380 --> 00:03:54,530
is probably not a version that we want to

76
00:03:54,530 --> 00:03:57,660
restore. But now you know how to view

77
00:03:57,660 --> 00:04:00,520
major versions of a document in a

78
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:11,000
SharePoint document library. Thanks for listening. And I'll see you next time
