Version History and Creating a New Document Version

For all Office documents, a new version is created within the FYI drawer when a user clicks I am finished editing. This gives visibility to all versions and allows you to restore earlier versions of the document within FYI.

Also, if you are making major changes to a document saved to FYI, you may want to create a new version. This will allow other users to go back to the original when required. This function is available for Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.
