Does Windows 11 have a history of edits when using Photos? For example, If I took a screenshot of a page and save it, then crop a certain part of the screenshot and save it. Is there a way to revert the image back to the uncropped version or did it overwrite the file and is there a version of the uncropped version somewhere on the PC?

If using the same file name the answer is Yes, the files get changed and Save uses the same name. Save as gives the opportunity to rename the new/changed file by at least one character.

So, the original file is overwritten and can't be reverted because of using the same name?
