Hi,
I've been using my iPad and iPhone to work on a Numbers file, and somehow I managed to overwrite some work so I decided to go back to a previous version. At that moment I was using my iPhone and I could not find any way to restore a previous version. After searching Google, I found this help page from Apple:


It clearly says, within the Files app, to select a file and then a Version button will appear on iPhone, or the text "Versions" will appear on iPad. However, on iPhone this icon does not appear. On iPad it works fine (see screenshots attached). Does anyone else have this problem? Is it not possible to do this on iPhone, despite Apple's own documentation?

My iPhone is running 13.5, the iPad is running 13.3.1 (admittedly this is not up to date, but the issue seems to be the iPhone and not the iPad).

I've attached two screenshots showing this:

iPad:

iPhone (same exact file):

Any help would be appreciated.
