Enabling Versioning
Objects stored in your bucket before you set the versioning state have a version
ID of null. When you enable versioning the objects in your bucket do
not change, as shown in the following figure.
What changes is how Amazon S3 handles the objects in future requests in that bucket.
To enable object versioning
In a
PUT Bucketrequest, include theversioningsub-resource.In the body of the request, use
Enabledfor the value of theStatusrequest element.
Example Enabling Versioning
The following request enables versioning on the bucket, bucketName.
PUT /?versioning HTTP/1.1
