Kindly shed some light for the below flow steps as to avoid overwriting existing files instead create new version for existing file in the document library and file name should be timestamped appended.
 
CURRENT FLOW: we currently overwrite the old document with the latest one in document library
Expected FLOWWe want to avoid overwriting and instead store the latest document along with the previous ones in the document library.
Information Required: How should we store the information? Should it be done with date and time stamping only, or should we also update the names?
Suggestion: Storing folder information with date and time stamping seems preferable. Updating names might create confusion.
 
formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy')
formatDateTime(utcNow(),'MMMM')
