where are versions stored
Where are versions stored and how can you tell if an untitled file was auto saved even though you didn't want it to be?
Versions of what?

In a hidden folder named .DocumentRevisions-V100 in the root directory of your hard drive.
Hi macjack, good start, thank you. Do you have any suggestions for me to view that folder without entering terminal? Would I be able to verify if files that I don't want saved are being saved by viewing .DocumentRevisions-V-100?
For instance, I did a test file in TextEdit that I discarded after I was done. I want to be sure that that file was not saved anyway, without my knowledge or understanding.
Thanks,
arnchi
You need to "show invisibles" in the Terminal copy & paste...
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
Press return
If you don't want to use Terminal you can use a GUI utlitly that does that, just google for one.
You may need to use a text editor to read that, or X-Code to work with it, if that's possible.
