what will happen if we leave the "Keep drafts for the following number of major versions:" unchecked
I have a document library inside our sharepoint online classic team site, which have minor/major versions enabled and the limit for the number of major version = 100. while the "Keep drafts for the following number of major versions:" is being unchecked, as follow:-
Currently in our case we can have minor versions and publish them as major versions. where i think that the maximum number of major versions we can have will be 100. but i am not sure what will be the effect of leaving the "Keep drafts for the following number of major versions:" unchecked ?? As when we enable/check the "Create major and minor (draft) versions" checkbox, the "Keep drafts for the following number of major versions:" checkbox will be enabled, but we can save the settings while leaving it unchecked (as shown in the above screenshot)...

- One is for checked in versions. The other is for check out versions as in each edit / save while not being checked in. The only versioning that will happen is when you check a document in. Now while editing / saving drafts.

also my main question is :- what will happen if we leave the "Keep drafts for the following number of major versions:" unchecked ??
- If it’s unchecked it will be set to 511 which is the default max.
