How do I view documument history

To view the document history in SharePoint or OneDrive, you can use the Version History feature. This feature allows you to see previous versions of a document, which can help you retrieve a document that was accidentally deleted or modified. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Access the Document: Navigate to the document in SharePoint or OneDrive.
2. Open Version History: Right-click on the document or select the ellipsis (...) next to it, and choose Version History from the context menu.
3. View Previous Versions: You will see a list of previous versions of the document. You can click on a version to view it.
4. Restore a Previous Version: If you find the version you want to restore, you can select it and choose the option to restore it, which will replace the current version with the selected one.

If the document was deleted entirely, you might need to check the Recycle Bin in SharePoint or OneDrive to restore it. Deleted items are retained for a certain period, allowing you to recover them easily.
