List versions of a driveItem

Namespace: microsoft.graph

OneDrive and SharePoint can be configured to retain the history for files. Depending on the service and configuration, a new version can be created for each edit, each time the file is saved, manually, or never.

Previous versions of a document may be retained for a finite period of time depending on admin settings that may be unique per user or location.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet

Remarks

Versions are returned in descending order (newest to oldest). The OData $orderby query string parameter isn't supported.

OneDrive doesn't preserve the complete metadata for previous versions of a file.

When your app retrieves the list of available versions for a file, a DriveItemVersion resource is returned that provides the available information about the specific version.
