    Power Automate does not have a built-in action to directly list all historical file versions for multiple documents.
     
    But you can achieve this by leveraging SharePoint’s REST API within Power Automate:
    Uri:
    _api/web/lists/getByTitle('HR Documents')/items(@{items('For_each')?['ID']})/Versions
     
     
    Let me know if it works!

    If your goal is to generate a report of SharePoint document version history and export it to Excel, Power Automate can accomplish this, but there are some
     
    limitations and best practices to be aware of.
     
    Key Point
     
    Standard SharePoint actions such as Get files (properties only) do not return version history information. To retrieve document versions, you need to use the
     
    SharePoint REST API via the Send an HTTP request to SharePoint action.
     
    The most reliable solution is:
    • Get files from the SharePoint library
    • Use SharePoint REST API to retrieve version history
    • Extract version metadata (Version, Modified Date, Modified By, Comments)
    • Store the results in Excel, SharePoint, or Dataverse
    • Use the document URL plus version number as your reference, rather than trying to generate direct links to each historical version
    This approach is scalable, supported by Microsoft, and commonly used for SharePoint document audit and compliance reporting.
