Introduction
In this blog, we will learn about how to change the version settings in SharePoint Online and how they are changed in O365. Version settings in the lists and libraries enables you to track and manage information as it evolves and to view and recover earlier versions, if necessary.
SharePoint list versions are maintained in a normal way but the documents it maintains are strictly major and minor versions.
