# Versions

Saves and organises multiple versions of the current document in the same file. You can also open, delete and compare previous versions.

To access this command...

Choose File - Versions.

If you save a copy of a file that contains version information (by choosing File - Save As), the version information is not saved with the file.

## New versions

Set the options for saving a new version of the document.

### Save New Version

Saves the current state of the document as a new version. If you want, you can also enter comments in the Insert Version Comment dialogue box before you save the new version.

#### Insert Version Comment

Enter a comment here when you are saving a new version. If you clicked Show to open this dialogue box, you cannot edit the comment.

### Always save version when closing

If you have made changes to your document, LibreOffice automatically saves a new version when you close the document.

If you save the document manually, do not change the document after saving, and then close, no new version will be created.

## Existing versions

Lists the existing versions of the current document, the date and the time they were created, the author and the associated comments.

### Close

Closes the dialogue box and saves all changes.

## Open

Opens the selected version in a read-only window.

## Show

Displays the entire comment for the selected version.

## Delete

Deletes the selected version.

## Compare

Compare the changes that were made in each version. If you want, you can Manage Changes.
