What is a file "Versions"? 6.5.1

When I right click a file name within a share, I am seeing "Versions" as a choice. What are they and where did they come from? When I look at the snapshots for that share, I do not see any connection between them and the versions.

Versions is based on Snapshots.
The Versions will show you the different versions of the file that are retained in the Snapshot. If the version of the file is the same (duplicates) it will not display that version of the file. It should help users fine the different versions of the files based on the snapshot without having to look at a bunch of duplicate files that retain the same content.

The versioning/changing of the files are checked in BTRFS.

    Hello paulinde,
    
    It must have something to do with Snapshots. Probably revisions of the file that you right clicked on.
