If I add version to my documents and later on want to retrieve copy of an older version, how do I do that without restoring the older version? In my document library there is a file "test" that has two versions. How do I download the earlier version without restoring the older version?

Komal, that answer worked a treat! How nice to have things like this... so obvious in the GUI. Cheers!– notonyourtintypeCommented Mar 18, 2021 at 15:50

Sorry for localized version - it's a history list. Note marked link and url in status bar - it's archived version. So you can simply download.
Edit
Although when you hover over the Modified On value there is a dropdown list, the Save option isn't there. To save, right click on the Modifed On value and choose Save As. This will save the document version itself

Hi, I just found this answer and I do not think I understand it. Where can you just download the old version? I can't seem to find that option in SP2007.– AlphaCommented Aug 31, 2012 at 20:57

Hi! AFAIK it's the same in the 2007 version. But does version control enabled in your list? It's disabled by default and you need to enable it on the list settings page before you will be able to view the versions history. office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/… Commented Sep 1, 2012 at 18:54

1You don't need to open the dropdown - just click on the link I've highlighted in red. Commented Sep 25, 2012 at 14:59

1I hate SharePoint!! For whatever reason the UI allows me to restore the previous version but not to actually view or download it.– user6635Commented Feb 12, 2014 at 4:41

1Are you sure? look the the screenshot above - the "14.11.2011 12:57" string is the link to download the specific version. Have you tried to click on it? Commented Feb 12, 2014 at 9:51
Right click on version link [Ex: 14.11.2011 12:57] and open in new browser, pop up comes up with open/save option.Click on save button to save the specified version of the document.
