# Working with Previous Versions

Most of the interaction that you have with a document happens on the latest major or minor version. However, limited actions are available for previous versions of documents. To access previous versions of a document, click **Version History** in the document's Actions menu, or expand the **Version History** section in the fields panel of the document's _Doc Info_ page. Click on a version to access it.
