Show or hide Object version information#

Ensure that versioning is enabled for your bucket; otherwise, the features described in this document cannot be used.

Show object version information.#

First, select and connect to the bucket for which you have enabled bucket versioning.

There are two ways to configure the display of Object version information:

Context Menu: In the Object list, right-click to open the menu and select Show Versions.
Objects Menu Bar: In the Objects menu bar, select Show Versions.

After selecting the corresponding option, the version information will be displayed, as shown below:

In S3, all "directories" are actually Prefix, there are no corresponding physical objects, and therefore no version information.
After displaying version information, the Object list will contain Objects with the same name, each corresponding to a different version of that Object.
The [#xxx] in the Version column is not the actual version information; it is a sequence number we added to display the versions more intuitively. A higher sequence number indicates a historical version that is closer to the current version.
The string of characters following [#xxx] in the Version column is the actual S3 Version Id.
Items in the Version column marked with a red "X" represent deleted versions; these correspond to S3 Delete Markers.
Items in the Version column marked with a green dot indicate the latest version of the object.

The operation to hide object version information is similar to the operation to display object version information.

Once you have enabled Show Versions this menu item changes to Hide Versions; selecting it will switch back to the standard mode.
