[Autogenerated] high in this lesson. I'm
going to show you how to view major
versions of documents in a document
library. We're going to go ahead now and
go to our job descriptions library and
talk about version ing. Now Version ING is
in play in every document library in the
SharePoint team site every time a new one
is created and in the default document
library version, ING is at play now.
Version ing means that every time a
document is edited, a new version of that
document is created, and SharePoint stores
the older versions of that document as
well. Now this is major versions by
default. Major version ING has turned out
We have the ability to create major and
minor versions. But that's another lesson
for another day. By default on Lee, major
versions are enabled. Let's go ahead and
let's take a look at this accountant job
description document. We're gonna go over
here to show actions, and from our list,
we're gonna choose version history. This
is going to show us all of the major
versions off this document and you'll see
that there are eight of them. That means
that this document has been edited seven
times, and we have the original version
version one, which was either creative in
SharePoint or uploaded to it. Now, when we
hover over one of these versions, you see
that we have this little drop down, which
when we click on it, it gives us options
to view restore and elite. That version
will look at those in just a second. We
see who modified the document. In other
words, who created those versions the size
of the document? And if they added
comments, if when the document was edited,
it had been checked out, you get an option
to create comments. Let's go ahead and
let's view one of these versions. We're
going to click on version five and click
on the view button, and this is what we
get now. This isn't exactly what you
expected, is it? You were hoping for a
version of the entire document so you
could see what it looked like in this
older version. Well, we can't do that like
this. We need to do that. Another wait. So
we're gonna close this, and we're actually
gonna open up the document now we are in
word online. Unfortunately, there's also
no way to go ahead and look at older
versions of the document inward online. If
I go to my file menu and I click on my
info tab, there is no option here to check
the versions. You have to do that in the
desktop version of word. Now we have that
installed on this computer, so I'm gonna
go over here and click on open inward.
It's gonna open up Microsoft Word for me.
And now I'm going to go to the file menu
on the info page. I see version history
in. If I click on view and restore
previous versions, I get the version
history over here on the right. I can now
pick a version and look at it. I'm gonna
pick this one. This was version five by
Gary Coulson, and I'm gonna click on open
version. And there is this version of the
document and we see well, there's a
problem with it here, isn't there? So this
is probably not a version that we want to
restore. But now you know how to view
major versions of a document in a
SharePoint document library. Thanks for listening. And I'll see you next time
