Can I download and rename a previous version of a file?

HI!

is it possible to download a history version and name it something else? or that it automatically ads a (restored file) when we redownload it? I find it annoying that it overwrites the newest version

    No it isnt I'm afraid. 

     

    As a workaround I usually duplicate the file I am going to restore first.
