SharePoint page difference visualization for versioning
Versioning on list items and document library files works well, but versioning on pages has always lacked something in my opinion. The description of what changed wasn’t always helpful if you were trying to get back to a version of a page prior to changes. Now with the SharePoint page difference visualization feature in version history, it’s easy to see what version you need to restore. Here’s how it works…

Accessing OneDrive Sync version history in Finder, File Explorer, and OneDrive Activity Feed
Being able to easily access version history on files is a real benefit, especially when it comes to files stored on OneDrive.
