My professor wants a copy of my version history for one of my documents. When I open up the version history it only shows two versions (November 22 and November 26) but I know there should be more versions than just two. I'm wondering why Microsoft is not showing all the versions and if there is a way to get all the versions.

Thanks for the follow-up. According to the article at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/restore-a-previous-version-of-a-file-stored-in-onedrive-159cad6d-d76e-4981-88ef-de6e96c93893, for personal OneDrive accounts, the 25 most recent versions are retained.
You will have a version history but it will not necessarily reflect many of the changes.
You should have one for each time the document was saved using the Ctrl+S command or when it was closed with a save.
How many versions of the document are currently available? For example, do you see 25 or fewer?
The onedrive is not through the university. It's my own personal one.
The number of older versions retained is determined by the OneDrive (or SharePoint) settings. If you are using a university or college OneDrive, you can't change those settings yourself.
