Hi @kewally,

Versioning is a list-level setting, so it is impossible to be enabled at the site level. We can enable versioning (only major version) for all existing lists and libraries using below PnP PowerShell.

$SiteURL = "https://xxx.sharepoint.com"
 
#Connect to PnP Online
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteURL -Credentials (Get-Credential)
 
#Get All Lists from the web
$Lists = Get-PnPList | Where {$_.Hidden -eq $false}
ForEach($List in $Lists)
{
    #Enable versioning and set Number of versions to 50
    Set-PnPList -Identity $List -EnableVersioning $True -MajorVersions 50
    Write-host -f Yellow "Configured Versioning on List:"$List.Title
}

For more information, take a reference to this article: SharePoint Online: Enable Versioning on All Lists and Libraries using PowerShell .
