# File Versions

Migration Manager now support migrating version histories along with each of the files, enabling customers to transfer either a specific number of versions or all versions from cloud sources to Microsoft 365.

>[!NOTE]
> Currently, file version migration is supported for Google scenario only.

## Version settings

To configure file versions setting in a cloud migration project:

1. Select **Project Settings** in the top-right toolbar.

2. Select the **Advanced** tab.

3. Configure the **File versions** settings below.

- **Do not migrate file version** (default setting): Migrate only the most recent version of each file.

- **Migrate a specific number of file versions**: Specify a fixed number of versions to migrate for each file.

- **Migrate all existing file versions**: Migrate all available versions (up to 50,000) of each file.

>[!NOTE]
> Version settings can also be customized at task level in **Task settings**.

## Performance impact

File version migration can significantly increase the load on the source API quota, transmission network, and destination storage. To ensure optimal performance, it is strongly recommended to choose **Migrate a specific number of file versions** and set the number to **no more than 10**.

>[!NOTE]
> Laboratory testing indicates that native Google format files may experience throttling when migrating more than 10 versions. This performance restriction does not apply to other file types.

## Reporting

Each file corresponds to a row in the **Migration detailed report**. If version migration is enabled, a file is marked as successful only when all its versions are successfully migrated.
