Working with Version History

When versioning is enabled, Windows SharePoint Services creates a separate copy of the document each time it is edited. Although this takes up extra space on the server, it also makes it easy to revert to an older version of the document if necessary. A more in-depth discussion of versioning will be covered in Chapter 6.

When you view a document’s version history, you see a list of the occasions when this document was edited and saved as well as the author’s comments on those changes.

In the following exercise, you will see what changes have been made to the OakChest.docx document and then revert back to the final copy of the document.
