Nextcloud supports a simple version control system for files. Versioning creates
6-
backups of files which are accessible via the Versions tab on the Details
7-
sidebar. This tab contains the history of the file where you can roll back a
8-
file to any previous version. A new version is saved only if at least two minutes
9-
have passed since the last version was created. Versions are stored in ``data/[user]/files_versions``.

Nextcloud supports a simple version control system for files. Whenever a file
6+
is changed on the server or uploaded again by a client, Nextcloud keeps the
7+
previous content as a version so you can restore it later. Versions appear in
8+
the **Versions** tab on the Details sidebar, where you can restore or download
9+
any earlier copy. A new version is stored only if at least two minutes have
10+
passed since the last version was created. Desktop and mobile clients do not
11+
manage the version list themselves; they upload a new file and the server
12+
records the version. Versions are stored under ``data/[user]/files_versions``.
