Document Versioning: Unused Power in macOS

TLDR: macOS document versioning, although underused, effectively tracks changes and offers recovery options. It saves versions with every document edit and can be accessed via the File menu, but versions don't transfer between different volumes. Users often overlook its benefits in comparison to Time Machine backups, which don’t preserve version history. For optimal use, consider third-party apps like Revisionist and Versatility to manage versions more effectively.
