How do I set the number of draft/minor versions each major version can have?
Hi all Microsoft claims (https://support.office.com/en-US/client/results?Shownav=true&lcid=1033&ns=SPOSTANDARD&version=16&omkt=en-US&helpID=documentversions&ver=16&services=KAIZALA_O365_P3%2CMICROSO...
Thank you SinhaKislay. I suspect this is the case. But what confuses me is that Microsoft say the number of minor versions per major version is set to 511 by default. Am I wrong in assuming that by default implies that it can be changed?
Hi SinhaKislay
I contacted Microsoft Prem support and it turns out it is possible to control this minor version setting. Just not through the SP UI. It has to be done by powershell. See Example 5 at this linked article.

Just tried it out, unfortunately the PnP Example 5 just sets the number of Major Versions with Draft Items but does not limit the Drafts themselves, reflected in the UI Library Versioning Settings afterwards, same like the UI Config itself!
