Versions are missing from Version history

What you are seeing

Versions are missing from Version history.


#Why it happens

Entries saved within 15 seconds of the previous shown one are collapsed so rapid auto-saves do not flood the list, and the list never shows more than the last 50 ('Limited to the last 50 entries').


#What to do

Expect both behaviours; they are deliberate.

What happens

Version history entry limit

50

Beyond 50 versions the panel shows 'Limited to the last 50 entries'.

Version list de-duplication window

15 seconds

Versions saved within 15 seconds of the previous shown entry are hidden from the list, so rapid auto-saves do not flood it (migration-era versions are exempt).


#A few things that catch people out

  • Version history is a staging action, not a restore, and it hides entries saved within 15 seconds of each other and never shows more than 50.



Found it? Good.
