I have been emailed a word document and can see what time it was last edited and by which author. I am very interested to see what edit they made. Is there a way to view previous history when the document was emailed to me (not originally made on my device?)
It doesn't look possible through the usual method of file- info- manage document (it says there are no unsaved changes).

Hello Molly B,
Thank you for coming to the forum. I am sorry you cannot view the previous version of files that were not authored or created on your device and stored in the cloud.
