MicrosoftVersioning update to Document Libraries in team sites in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business
The announcement has been moved to New Updates to OneDrive and SharePoint Team Site Versioning.
What is the reasoning behind making it impossible to disable versioning?
I have quite a few use cases in which versioning is turned off ...
Totally agree, it's ridiculous to stop us from disabling version control or to set the minimum to say 10 major versions. There are situations where some libraries will contain large files and not necessarily Word documents. We don't want our storage space used up by these previous versions.
Just one more headache to contend with when considering rolling out OneDrive to people, and give's us another reason to continue to use SharePoint on-prem.
- Wow, this adds to a recent line of "making business level decisions on behalf of customers". (Like trying to provision o365 groups for direct reports). I feel that should be out of bounds.
I don't disagree with the idea, but like others mentioned you shouldn't change anything in my environment. You can change the defaults on NEW things. But many decisions have been made already based on that and there are business reasons in some cases for less than 100 including no versions.
