Important warnings

Warninginfo
titleItem Level Versioning is disabled on Entities by defaultconfiguration

By default, Configurable Entities are excluded from supported in Item Level Versioning support . This is because Entity relationships cannot yet be versioned or managed by the versioning process.  Therefore, only basic Items are supported by versioning at this time.If you wish to enable Entity support for versioning nonetheless, simply set "versioning.block.entity=false" in your local.cfg.  Keep in mind though that versioning an Entity will not version it's relationships to other Entitiesstarting from version 7.3. More details about the configuration specific to Configurable Entities can be found on that page.


Warning
titleAIP Backup & Restore functionality only works with the Latest Version of Items

If you are using the AIP Backup and Restore functionality to backup / restore / migrate DSpace Content, you must be aware that the "Item Level Versioning" feature is not yet compatible with AIP Backup & Restore. Using them together may result in accidental data loss.  Currently the AIPs that DSpace generates only store the latest version of an Item.  Therefore, past versions of Items will always be lost when you perform a restore / replace using AIP tools. See https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/4751.
