# Enabling versioning

Versioning in Impossible Cloud is a way of keeping multiple versions of an object in the same bucket. Thus, when Impossible Cloud receives multiple write requests for the same object simultaneously, it stores all of those objects as versions. This feature has to be enabled on a bucket level - when creating the folder or by editing its settings:

* To activate versioning when **creating a bucket**, simply create a new bucket and enable its versioning.

* For enabling or disabling versioning later in the process, navigate to the bucket overview and **change the respective bucket's settings**.
