iCloud Version History

Does iCloud provide version history where you can restore an earlier version of a current file? Hard to believe it doesn't have it but i cannot find it anywhere. The Browse Version History command is grayed out on the menu. Very surprised this feature is not available. If it is available, how would access it?

iCloud activity history I'd like to see my activity history on iCloud Drive over, say, the last year. Is this possible? In particular, I want to see what might have been deleted from my iCloud Drive. I know I can only recover things deleted in the last 30 days, but I'd still like to see the older history.

DELETED DOCUMENT: iCloud refreshed while offline and deleted changes I was working on a Pages document in iCloud.com on Safari browser, my wifi dipped out and when it came back online iCloud.com automatically refreshed the page and my document had lost an hour of work. When the wifi turned off I tried to download my document but it didn’t work as I was offline. Now I have lost so much work I can’t recreate. I tried to Restore the file but it wasn’t listed and on the individual document’s Version History there isn’t an up to date version please I am desperate! is there just a way to see that document or at least a more recent version, or view that page of history from safari’s cookies or cache or something? Why does iCloud refresh when reconnecting to wifi, it made me lose so much :(

No. iCloud maintains no version history. However, individual programs may retain file history (eg. Pages, Word, etc.)
