SharePoint will store the full copy of any document/page for each version of that document/page. In some cases (as with Wiki pages), SharePoint will highlight content to show what changed from version to version, but with documents and pages, the entire file is stored in the content database. This is why storing multiple different versions of large documents ...

SharePoint always stores the full file. It never tries to do diffs.
I haven't seen it documented regarding Site pages anywhere but if you ON A DEV BOX tries this:
Create a new Team site with relative url "Team"
Modify Home.aspx in SharePoint Designer
Turn on Major/minor versioning of "Site Pages"
Check out Home.aspx
Modify Home.aspx in SharePoint Designer

Storage space. It's a good practice to use site quotas to manage growth. When you have versioning and don't have limits, each version adds additional storage as Sharepoint is making a copy of the original. In one document library, I had seen a file with 197 versions with no finite limit set. this one small file accounted for nearly 500 MB against the site ...

Size. That one 5MB file is taking up 320MB + (metadata x 64). It can potentially consume a lot of space if that happens several times. If your databases get too large, then it gets more difficult to manage from the back end (backups take longer, restores take longer, have to consider moving DBs to new disk drives as space runs out).

The 'Contribute' level of permission still does not have permission to see minor versions. You would have to grant the crawl account at least 'Approve' permissions for this.
However, if a document has not been given any version yet then only the document creator can see it. If you want those documents to appear in search then the crawl account will need ...

In Word, on the review tab, click Compare. You can compare to the previous version or choose the documents that you wish to compare. Author's initials are displayed in the review pane. If you compare to the last version, you know that all changes were made by the Modified By person for that item in the sharepoint document library.

In developer speak this is a classic "feature branch" scenario. You want to be able to work on a change to some content without affecting the "trunk" of the content, while still having the revisions merged back to trunk once you are happy with your change.
In SharePoint it seems like the closes thing to "supporting" this is to shell out a copy of a ...

In SharePoint 2010 and earlier, each version increases the storage used on the database by the amount of the file size whether the file is changed or not.
It's worth pointing out that Microsoft identifies this as a shortcoming in SharePoint versions previous to the recently released SharePoint 2013. In SharePoint 2013, new technology being dubbed Shredded ...

Upto maximum of 400,000 Major versions supported for a single file as per Microsoft documentation
However, size is what matters most! At the moment, the default maximum file size is 50 MB but it can be increased up to 2 GB. However a large volume of very large files can affect farm performance (see the chart below). But, for the scenarios where files ...

All of your posts helped me build a solution.
We are using the Client Object Model (COM) and cannot refer to SharePoint.dll which has the SPList object. In our given scope of COM, I could accomplish it by doing this in the C# code.
Load the File and check out
clientContext.Load(file);
file.CheckOut(); // Check out the File

The only way to get draft versions to appear in the search results is to grant contribute access or full access to the search crawler account! But I would never recommend this for security reasons and because it would also break the whole concept with minor/major versions.
You will simply need to publish minor changes as major versions! It is no problem to ...

You can't change previous minor versions into being major version but what you can do is following:
Check out version 0.10 (it then becomes 0.11)
In version history select "Restore" in the menu for 0.3 (it then becomes 0.11)
Check-in/Publish as 1.0
Check out (it then becomes 1.1)
In versions history select "Restore" in the menu for 0.4 (it then becomes ...

Sorry if I misunderstood the problem, it's seems like you're talking about the differences between author names of the document right ?
My idea may be too easy but it may help to deep further. In SP, the "modified by" name is directly linked to the SP account, but in office document, there's also a native property named "Author", and other properties that ...

check this link out on msdn forum as its the same question:
For the ones (.docx / .xlsx) if you add metadata; you download the
document and upload it back again you will notice the field values
will be pre-populated and this is because of XML promotion and
demotion. To verify this:
Step 1: change the extension of your .docx
or .xlsx to .zip

I've found this... So I guess it won't work :(
Unlike Word, PowerPoint and OneNote 2010 it’s not possible to have
multiple authors working on a document at the same time in Microsoft
Excel 2010. However, if you have access to the Office Web Applications
– where it is possible to edit Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents
via a browser – there is ...

Got the solution :)
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(siteId))
{
thisWeb = site.OpenWeb();
SPList serviceDetailsList = thisWeb.Lists["Service Details"];
if (serviceDetailsList.Items.Count > 0)
{

It depends on which technique you plan to use:
Event Handlers - use ItemUpdating having properties object contains
the collections BeforeProperties and AfterProperties that helps you
to find out what has changed for your item, i.e. compare properties.BeforeProperties[].ToString() with properties.AfterProperties[].ToString(). You can also modify the value ...
