Learn how to access a document's version history and compare versions therein using Word.
- [Instructor] Do you ever wish you could go back in time…and retrieve an older version of a document…that you're working on?…How about taking it one step further,…by not only going back to an older version…of the same document you're working on,…but also being able to compare…the two versions side-by-side.…This week, we're going to look at Version history…and Microsoft Word's Document Compare functionality.…We're in a document library called Marketing Materials.…
At the top of this library is a file called…Flyer for Staff Review.…What I would like to do is look…at the version history for this document.…There are two ways that I can access it.…First, by selecting the document,…and that's by enabling the checkbox to the left…of the File Type icon.…I can then move to the Command bar…and click on the ellipses, or the three dots.…And here we can see Version history.…There's another way that we're able to access…the Version history for this document.…
By hovering over the file name,…we notice the three ellipses here, as well.…
