Hi guys. People may have said this already, but let me tell you how I do it.
I don't bother looking for versions any more unless I have to. These days, since I " to do a lot of starting an original file, I " a couple of ways of doing it. If I'm in Finder, I do command c on the original and command v to paste it. Then this makes a file with the original name on it plus the word copy. Then I just press enter on the new file, going to the end the file name and rename it. My file names like this are like the old ones but with new text on the end. If I'm in TextEdit, I do command a and select the text; command c to the clipboard; command n for a new file and then command v for pasting. This sounds like a lot of keystrokes, but it's really not. Oh, I save out this new file with whatever file name I want. Hey, at least if I get to save the file, it's somewhere on here. In my case they go to to the desktop. I kind of gather that sighted people love this new feature because they can quickly call up these versions with the mouse. So, don't be surprised if it doesn't get added to Windows someday.
