This function is only available for the Advanced plan.
For the Standard plan, you can use this function by applying for and using the Drive option.
If you have uploaded a file by overwriting the existing file, you can check the file version history and restore the file to a specific version if necessary.
Any change made to the file is automatically saved so that you do not need to change the file name every time you edit a file.
Version history settings
Enable version history
Each user can set whether to enable the version history for documents in My Drive at Drive Version History settings. The version history for documents in My Drive uses personal storage capacity. Manage your storage capacity by deleting previous versions that are no longer in use.
The version history of documents in Shared Drives and Team/Group Folders are saved regardless of individual member settings and uses the shared storage capacity.
File types you can restore and storage period for file versions
Only the administrator can change the settings on the file types available to restore and the storage period for file versions.
You cannot restore to a version with the storage period expired.
