I have a shared SP site with my colleague. We are both owners and have the exact same rights and set-up. In a document set when choosing the "dots" menu my collegue has the menu seen in the top image whereas I have the menu seen in the lower image. My menu is missing version history and capture version, which I had until about a month ago. Also, all alternatives have an icon before the text which was not present previously. Can anyone support how to get version history and capture version back?

    Hello Emma,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Community. Rest assured we are here to help you.

    The issue you’re experiencing might be due to a recent SharePoint update or changes in permissions. Here are a few steps to help restore the "Version History" and "Capture Version" options:

    Library Settings: Ensure versioning is enabled.

    Browser Cache: Clear your cache or try a different browser.

    Classic View: Switching to it may bring back the missing options.

    Permissions Review: Double-check permissions for the document set.

    If issue still persists, please contact to Microsoft support through Get Help App.

    Best Regards,
    Shivi | Microsoft Support Community Specialist.

    I am having the same issue. After a recent update (icon before the texts of menu) of Sharepoint Online, version history for document set is gone. After trying what shivi31 suggested, the issue is still there.

    We have the same issue. This only happens for document sets and folders. Not for the files it contains
