Version history is not saving any more.

[anele]

Hello! One of my alfresco sites suddenly stopped updating version history for documents created by a certain user. It happens when other users try to edit these documents online, no new version appears in history but the changes themself are saved, when editing offline version history gets saved. The only thing that helps is to reupload the document again, but I don't like this decision since all the history will be lost.
Is there a way to fix it without loosing the history?

Maybe this is related and helps:

• If you edit inline (in Alfresco) a new text file created via Alfresco Share UI for example, or you edit online (via webdav with Libreoffice addon) and versionable aspect is not applied, there is NOT a new version saved, and no version history (I did not test it neither in AOS nor VTI because I am in a Linux stack). Maybe this is happening to you. In these cases, it is useful to apply versionable aspect via content rule to certain editable mimetypes when added or created, or adding versionable aspect to a node template depending on your case for creating content.
• If you edit offline or upload a new version from Alfresco Share, you obtain a new version and the corresponding history, cause these actions are applying versionable aspect implicitely.

Regards.

I've tried to apply versionable aspect via content rule as you suggested but it had no effect.( Probably because it's already been applied. Reapplying the aspect helps to make versioning work but all the previous history gets lost.
