Nuxeo automatically creates snapshots of versions of objects. You can recover a specific version of the document if needed, without having to edit the document.

These archived versions can be found on the "History" tab ("Archived Versions" sub-tab), when viewing a given object in Nuxeo:

Snapshots of versions of objects are automatically captured, when there are modifications to files managed in the "Main Content File" section of the Nuxeo object.
