Box allows customers to track document revisions and edit through its Version Control capability. Version Control becomes active when a new version of a stored file is uploaded and the existing file is overwritten. As new files are uploaded, Box maintains a Version History Log of file uploads and overwrites. The version history log also enables customers to store and access up to a hundred (100) versions of a particular file.
NOTE: All versions stored on Box will count against the allotted storage. To learn how to initiate Version Control by uploading new versions of stored files, follow the steps listed below:
- From the All Files and Folders tab on the Box User Homepage page or within a folder, mouse over to the right of the desired file name and click the down arrow button to open the File Options drop down menu. Select Upload New Version.

- The Upload New Version window will appear. Click Select File and then select the new version of the file to upload from the Explorer window.

- Highlight the desired file in the Explorer window and then click Open.

- At the Upload New Version window, click Upload to upload the new version of the file.
- A description of the new version may be added by clicking the Add Description link beneath the file name of the new version to open a fill-in field.

- Box will quickly upload the file and overwrite the previous version of the file.

- Once the upload is complete, a Version icon will appear below the file name denoting the number of versions associated with that file. For example, a V2 icon denotes that the current uploaded file is the second version of the original file.

- Clicking the Version icon will open the Version History window, where customers can view all stored versions, download previous versions, replace the current version of the file with a previous version, or upload a new version of the file.
