Mac OS Sonoma 14.4 Bug Reportedly Causes Deletion of Saved Versions in iCloud Drive

Quick Summary:

In previous versions of macOS, when a file is evicted from local storage in iCloud Drive [using the Remove Download option in the right-click contextual menu], all its saved versions have been preserved.

Apple's latest macOS Sonoma 14.4 software update appears to be guilty of another bug, this time affecting saved versions in iCloud Drive.

Download that file again from iCloud Drive, and versions saved on that Mac (but not other Macs or devices) have remained fully accessible.Do that in 14.4, and all previous versions are now removed, and lost forever.
