version history
When cleaning up versions, your only choice is to delete all Major Versions or Delete Minor Versions. SPO current version limit default is 500 versions.

As a digital workplace manager I need to be able to migrate 200,000 files (300gb) of data from a file share to multiple different team sharepoint sites. To do this I first need to export the metadata for that file share as a master list of content that needs moving.
