Nice! This is just begging to have some checkboxes next to the versions so you can compare [compare](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/issues/898) those versions to one another...

<p>My client wants to look through very old versions of a certain page entry, but the Recent Versions drop-down is only showing a max of 10 entries. I know that older versions of the page exist because if I change the last number in the URL (of a more recent version) and I can access much older entries. Unfortunately, the are organized numerically by date (and not by page) so it makes them almost impossible to sift through.</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated. </p>

I don't think Craft has any other place for viewing old entry versions. You can browse the entire set by examining a table in the database, or write a plugin to display all of them.

**Quick and Dirty**

If you're just digging into this specific entry, you can pop into the `craft_entryversions` table and search for the `entryId` matching the one in question. You'll see all versions past and present, each with a bunch of JSON in the `data` column with that version's content.

Let's say you fancy one of those entries and its `id` column is `346` in the database. As you've already discovered, you can modify the entry's edit URL from...

`/admin/entries/projects/1234-gobias-industries-about-page`

...to...

`/admin/entries/projects/1234-gobias-industries-about-page/versions/346`

...and view it from the Craft control panel.

This is a bit uncomfortable of course, but you can quickly share a bunch of URLs with your client that'd make it easy to visit and inspect each version.

**Slower and Cleaner**

Otherwise you'd have to whip up a plugin to display additional version details in the control panel, probably linking to each version for further examination. If you're comfortable taking a stab at the plugin, it'd be fairly quick work displaying the results of [`craft()->entryRevisions->getVersionsByEntryId()`](https://craftcms.com/classreference/services/EntryRevisionsService#getVersionsByEntryId-detail) however you like.
