Retrieve the versions of a file.
OneDrive and SharePoint can be configured to retain the history for files. Depending on the service and configuration, a new version can be created for each edit, each time the file is saved, manually, or never.
Previous versions of a document may be retained for a finite period of time depending on admin settings that may be unique per user or location.

}Versions are returned in descending order (newest to oldest). The OData $orderby query string parameter isn't supported.
OneDrive doesn't preserve the complete metadata for previous versions of a file.
When your app retrieves the list of available versions for a file, a DriveItemVersion resource is returned that provides the available information about the specific version.
