Hello guys, I’m trying to understand how to Version Control app works but sadly I’m not getting this. On Nextcloud documentation describres the rules below for Version Control: • For the first 10 seconds Nextcloud keeps one version every 2 seconds • For the first minute Nextcloud keeps one version every 10 seconds • For the first hour Nextcloud keeps one version every minute • For the first 24 hours Nextcloud keeps one version every hour • For the first 30 days Nextcloud keeps one version every day • After the first 30 days Nextcloud keeps one version every weeks But in my case this rules isn’t beeing applies by this way, it’s creating a lot of equal versions where the version created time (hour) about each version is the same in all off them. Someone can help me to understand how Version Control realy works or there are another relevant doc about this? Regards, ---
