This widget is used to display all the versions of a document and compare the versions with each other.
By default, the widget is located on the view form of Document type apps. To learn more about working with versions on app item forms, see Version control and document comparison.
Alternatively, you can use the Document versions widget to manage versions of files stored in the Files workspace. To learn more, see Actions with files.
Also, the widget allows you to view and compare versions of files added via a File type property to items of standard apps and to task pages. To learn more, see System data types.
