Losing or accidentally deleting files in Office 365 SharePoint
We have moved all our server Company files to the documents section of our SharePoint in Office 365. In order to secure data among users that have the editor role, if a user makes a mistake on a document or accidentally deletes a file, does SharePoint automatically have a versioning on each file that allows recoverability in the event of mistakes? Does it do this by default or does it need to be configured? Are there any other things I need to do to best address potential mishaps?
