View history of file changes
Yandex Disk saves history of file changes. For example, if you accidentally delete important information from a file, you can go back to a previous version and restore it.
All previous versions don't take up space on your Disk.
If you have an active Yandex 360 Premium plan, you can view the history of file changes for the last 90 days. Without a Premium plan, you only have access to the 14-day version history.
Open history
- Select a file.
- Click
on the upper panel or History in the context menu.
The history shows the date and time when the file was created and modified. If you change the file multiple times, these consequent file versions will be grouped together.
If you want to find out what changes were made in one of the older versions of a file, download it. If after that you want to replace the current version with the older one, click Restore and select Replace current one. If you need both the old and current versions, click Restore and select Save as copy.
Versions of other people's public files
You can't view the history of changes for other people's public files. If you save someone else's public file on your Disk, the history of changes starts from that moment.
Versions of files in shared folders
The shared folder history shows changes made by all folder members. The version history may be available for 14 or 90 days, depending on whether the owner of the shared folder has an active Yandex 360 Premium plan.
