Introduction

If you make changes to the files stored in your OneDrive, you might want to view or revert to an earlier version of the file. For example, if you are editing a report in Microsoft Word, you might want to view an earlier version of the file if the content was significantly changed during the editing process.

OneDrive's version history feature makes accessing an earlier version of your files easy.
