Using JSOM:

You can use the below sample code that uses the restoreByLabel method to restore the previous version of the document:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">  
    $(document).ready(function() {
       SP.SOD.executeFunc('sp.js', 'SP.ClientContext',restoreFile);
    });

    var oFile;
    function restoreFile() {
        //Get client context and web
        clientContext = new SP.ClientContext();
        var oWeb = clientContext.get_web();
        //Get File object and restore a specific version
        oFile=oWeb.getFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/Playground/Demo
         Library/Document.docx');
        oFile.get_versions().restoreByLabel("6.0");

        //Load Client Context and execute the batch
        clientContext.load(oFile);
        clientContext.executeQueryAsync(QuerySuccess, QueryFailure);
    }
    function QuerySuccess() {
        //Get major version
        var majorVersion =oFile.get_majorVersion();
       console.log("Version Restored . New Major Version - "+ majorVersion );
    } 

    function QueryFailure(sender,args) {
       console.log('Request failed - '+args.get_message());
    }
</script>

Using REST API:

You can use below endpoint to get all version of file:

siteUrl/_api/Web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('fileURL')/Versions

Get current SharePoint file version using REST call

  • Thanks for the code Ganesh. My concern is I want the file object which is itself a previous version document object and going forward I will consume that file object and upload the same in some other library. Here in the code you are trying to restore the previous version. Aug 30, 2019 at 7:24
  • Can anyone please suggest the way to get the specific version file? Aug 30, 2019 at 11:45
