A user can revert to an older version through the web interface at any time, with the replaced file becoming a version. The app automatically manages the versions folder to ensure the user doesn’t run out of Quota because of versions.
In addition to the expiry of versions, the versions app makes certain never to use more than 50% of the user’s currently available free space.

More information is available in the LDAP User and Group Backend documentation.
