New chapters taking all my storage space./How to turn off versioning/delete old versions all at once
(I'm using education version)Whenever I create or edit a chapter in Stream, it automaticly creates a new version for me in onedrive, the problem is, it actually duplicates the file, for example, if t...
- I figured out the solution by my self, I'm using education version so this may not work for your business version. (But it should)
1. Creating a new version each time you edit the file isn't a bug, it's a feature a lot of people complaining about.
2. Microsoft has removed the no versioning option since a couple years ago, by now you can only limit the version through this path:
settings/more settings/return to the old site settings page/Site libraries and lists/Customize "Documents" /Versioning settings
OR
return to classic one drive/site settings/Site libraries and lists/Customize "Documents" /Versioning settings
3. You may still need to delete the old versions, deleting the old versions one by one isn't practical at all, here's how to delete them all at once:
return to classic one drive/right click on the file you want/delete all versions
yeah I know you still need to delete versions one file by one file, but at least not one version by one version...
This has been raised to the Stream product team and they are working with the SharePoint team to get this resolved. I don't remember if there is a date they expect this to be resolved. In the meantime. . . when you see this you can delete older versions and you can limit the number of versions saved in a library [although I haven't been able to get it to accept a low number 😞 ].
You can keep up with some of these kinds of things by joining the Stream Product Team Office Hours calls that are bi-weekly. You can sign up using the form link at https://aka.ms/StreamConnect.

Thank you so much! I just realized that "creating a new version each time you edit a file" is not a bug, but a feature(more than one version created per one chapter edited though), I have lower the number of versions from 500 to 100(minimum), that should help a little. And also should be a "no versioning option" but maybe because of my education version so I don't have that option🥲
