How to check the version of a document in SharePoint?
Right click on the space between the item or document name and date, and from the menu, select Version History. To see Version History, you may need to scroll the menu. If you don’t see Version History, in the dialog, select the (ellipses), and then select Version History. A list of versions of the file appears.
If the issue happens with Open with Explorer or View in File Explorer, see Open in Explorer or View with File Explorer. Some problems occur because of differences in versions of SharePoint server and Office. If you can’t get it to work, try downloading the file and seeing if you can open it locally.
Note: SharePoint doesn’t remove the earlier version you just restored. It creates a copy and makes it the latest version. Version History is turned on by default in SharePoint, but if you don’t see the Version History command, it may be turned off.
