WebDAV supports file versioning by keeping track of the different versions of a file in the server. When a user uploads a new version of a file, the server retains the previous versions and stores the new version with a unique version number or timestamp. This allows users to access and restore any previous version of the file if necessary.
WebDAV also provides methods for users to view, retrieve, and delete previous versions of a file. The VERSION-CONTROL and VERSION-REPORT methods allow users to manage file versions, while the CHECKIN and CHECKOUT methods enable users to change and update files while maintaining a history of versions. The PROPFIND method is used to retrieve information about versions of a file, including the version number, creation date, and author.
Overall, WebDAV file versioning provides a reliable and efficient way to manage changes to files in a collaborative environment.
