OneDrive provides automatic version control of all your documents

What is version control?

A process or system that records changes to a document or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later.

Your co-workers are using this feature to:

• Restore a previous version of all file types, including PDFs, CAD files, photos, and videos.
• Compare different versions of a document.
• Ease their comfort with using the auto-save features in other Microsoft applications.
• Eliminate having to rename different versions of the same documents
