What happens to a file if post-replacement the file is modified? Does it modify the link target, or is it copy-on-write? I might want to have different copies

What happens to a file if post-replacement the file is modified? Does it modify the link target, or is it copy-on-write?
I might want to have different copies as "snapshot" and "working", de-duping them makes any version-control-like system mutable, doesn't it?
- Rygian 5y agoIf you were storing the same document in two folders before, you did not have two different (snapshot/working) copies. You had one document. There is no de-duping mentioned anywhere in the Google support page.
- jpollock 5y agook, so previously Google Drive used hard link equivalents and now they're using soft-link equivalents? thanks!
