EXAMPLE 3
Set-SPOListVersionPolicy -Site https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/site1 -List "Documents" -EnableAutoExpirationVersionTrim $false -MajorVersionLimit 500 -MajorWithMinorVersionsLimit 20 -ExpireVersionsAfterDays 0Example 3 sets manual version histroy limits on the document library called "Documents" by limiting the number of versions with no time limits.

Parameters
-EnableAutoExpirationVersionTrim
Global and SharePoint Administrators can set document library level version history limits settings that universally apply to new versions created.
When version history limits are managed automatically, SharePoint employs an algorithm behind the scenes that deletes (thins out) intermittent older versions that are least likely to be needed, while preserving sufficient high-value versions - more versions in the recent past and fewer farther back in time - in case restores are required.
The valid values are:
- True - Version history limits for new versions created on the document library will be managed automatically.
- False - Version history limits for new Versions created on the document library will be managed manually by setting limits to the number of major versions (
MajorVersionLimit), number of major with minor versions (MajorWithMinorVersionsLimit) and time set (ExpireVersionsAfterDays). Review the documentation of both parameters to manage your organization's version limits manually.
Note
When version history limits are managed manually (EnableAutoExpirationVersionTrim $false), MajorVersionLimit, MajorWithMinorVersionsLimit and ExpireVersionsAfterDays are required parameters with the following acceptable values:
a. MajorVersionLimit accepts values from 1 through 50,000 (inclusive).
b. MajorWithMinorVersionsLimit accepts values from 0 through 50,000 (inclusive).
c. ExpireVersionsAfterDays accepts values of 0 to Never Expire or values >= 30 to delete versions that exceed that time period.
When Version history limits are managed automatically (EnableAutoExpirationVersionTrim $true), setting MajorVersionLimit or ExpireVersionsAfterDays will result in an error as the count limits are set by the service.
