I have a 20mb document in SharePoint. When I change an attribute associated with that document, such as the Title, SharePoint duplicates the entire file... just from one simple attribute change. Why? Why doesn't SharePoint simply point the new record to the previous document version?
We are looking to do a mass update of document attributes in a document library; we will end up with duplication of 100mbs of data. It just seems so wasteful.
Can anyone shed light on why SharePoint is implemented like this?
