Versioning documents

---

Google Drive allows you to version documents – both Google Docs and uploaded files – in place. By doing this you can keep the history of the document in one place, and you also make sure that any links to the document always go to the latest version.

How to version a document

Files

1. In Google Drive, right click on a file or click the “More actions” menu (three dots) at the top right of the file’s tile.
2. Select File information, and then Manage versions.
3. Select Upload new version to add a new version.

Google Docs

Google Docs looks after the version history for you – you can see it by clicking File, then selecting Version history and See version history.

You can name any version from this version history, or manually create a named version by clicking File, then selecting Version history and Name current version.
