Set up and restore a file version

This feature is available after applying for WORKS Drive or the Standard or Standard Plus plan of NAVER WORKS Core.

You can check the version history of a file and restore it to a specific version.

The version history will be saved for the following

  • When you overwrite a file by uploading a file with the same name from the PC web or Drive Explorer
    However, on mobile, even if you upload a file with the same name, it is saved as a separate file with numbers such as (1) and (2) added after the file name. In this case, the version history will not be saved.
  • When you save a file after editing in Drive Explorer
