The document “test1” is on a volume that does not support permanent version storage. Your changes have been saved and you will not be able to access older versions of this document once you close it. To undo your changes, click Revert.

I have created share points on the mini mac server HD hard drive as we previously had issues with the server HD share points and security. This has all been working fine until recenrly and this error message keeps appearing evry time you want to save a document. Is it linked to the fact i have created a new folder on the HD drive and used that folder as a share point for all users to save to? Any help apprecisted thanks.

MAC MINI SERVER (LATE 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

This is a normal message. It is tied to NSDocument's ability to auto save your file. For example, open Text Edit and save the document to your Desktop. Now edit the file and close it. Notice you are not asked to save the document. It saves automatically. This is a feature. But it is a feature that requires the /.DocumentRevisions-V100 hidden at the root of your boot volume. This is not a permissions issue.

When you use a share point, the share point does not contain the .DocumentRevisions-V100 folder so the application alerts you that you are not going to save a version of the file. You are only going to save over the existing file. You will see this behavior in TextEdit, Preview, and other applications that support Apple's document versioning and autosave feature.

Great thank you. I assume I cant add a /.DocumentRevisions-V100 to the share point?

Would you mind explaining this issue also? I seems obvious but I just want to be certain. The error meassage reads;

The document "Chester" could not be autosaved. The file has been changed by another application.

Click Save Anyway to keep your changes and save the changes made by the other application as a version, or click Revert to keep the changes from the other application and save your changes as a version.

Does it mean another application as in another user on the SHARE POINT folder and the document "Chester" has opened this document ? Or does it mean another application as in pages and numbers? either way
