A few weeks ago I discovered that other people had mistakenly made changes to a draft of a technical document I was storing in SharePoint for which I had sole responsibility for. At the time we did not know how to access earlier versions of the document and I had to painstakingly review the entire draft and re-verify every detail.
Today I needed to compare revisions of a document that was stored in SharePoint with updates made on another machine. When I went to compare tab in this SharePoint managed document, I discovered how to find earlier versions!
Under the Review menu in Word, the Compare section has additional options for documents stored in SharePoint:
From here you can find the versions SharePoint has stored
And, once I knew what to look for, finding the Microsoft documentation was easy 🙂
