Could someone explain how to make versioning work?
I downloaded a file, edited it, and uploaded it back to the nextcloud folder. Nextcloud tells me there is a file name conflict and asks me if I want to rename the file. I thought it would paste over the existing and keep an older version. What’s the right way to create multiple versions of a file I’ve edited? Or is it only done through Collabora/Onlyoffice?
If you do upload newer version of file - old file will be moved to “versions” directory and will be offered as version to recreate. The same valid for editing, applications, e.g. Note will do a lot of savings and therefore produce versions of the document.
Be careful - older versions are deleted automatically depends on your setup admin_manual:
If the versions app is enabled (default), this setting defines the policy for when versions will be permanently deleted.
The app allows for two settings, a minimum time for version retention, and a maximum time for version retention. Minimum time is the number of days a version will be kept, after which it may be deleted. Maximum time is the number of days at which it is guaranteed to be deleted. Both minimum and maximum times can be set together to explicitly define version deletion. For migration purposes, this setting is installed initially set to “auto”, which is equivalent to the default setting in Nextcloud.
What are these D, D1, D2 really? Are they real numbers, conventions? I do not want to keep more than 5 versions for instance. How do I achieve it?
I’m sorry I don’t see what is unclear
keep versions for at least D1 days and delete when exceeds D2 days
according to above description you can only define min/max age of the versions not a number…
What are D1, D2?
Is D1=5 or something like this? I do not understand what I am supposed to use them for, or what the actual command line should look like. What is the actual command line should look like?
