Version Numbers Showing For Folders
We have turned on versioning for our SharePoint Libraries and because we use folders (there is no point suggesting we stop using folders as we have to for what we have now and have no choice), there ...
It shows because a folder is an item in a library / list just like a list item or document are. Anytime the folder gets renamed, and in the paste major upgrades would "modify" a folder, it will generate a new version.
We just uploaded these folders a couple weeks ago and none of the folders have been renamed.
- Can you post a screenshot? This is actually very weird and as Chirs have said, the version of a folder only changes if you change a property of it (folder name or folder metadata if you are using a custom folder content type)
Attached is a screenshot of both the Classic and New Experience. These folders were migrated to SharePoint in Mid-July and folder modifications show earlier dates.
