What is the purpose of Version History for cloud-stored Word files?

• A. Share a link
• B. Compare documents
• C. Compress the file
• D. Restore a prior version

Answer: (D)

Version History keeps snapshots of a cloud-stored Word document over time, so you can see and recover earlier edits. Its primary role is to restore a prior version when you need to undo mistakes, recover lost content, or revert to a previous state after a change you don’t like. You can also open an older version to review what changed and decide whether to restore it or save it as a new file. Sharing a link is about giving others access, not about retaining or reverting changes; compressing the file changes its size, not the document’s history; and comparing documents is a separate tool for spotting differences, whereas Version History specifically provides access to past versions for restoration or reference.
