When a document is updated (for example, its associated file or properties are changed), its internal version is incremented and the data of the previous version is saved in a version history table.
You can visualize the previous versions of a document at any time or you can download the file that corresponds to an older version of the document. Also, if you have Edit permissions, you can restore one of the previous versions of a document.
By restoring a version, a new version is created with the data from the version that you chose to restore.NOTE:
