This worked for me (following your linked support document).

If a document is already open then return to the view that shows all documents that are stored in iCloud Drive.
Tap Select at the top (that may behind the icon with three dots and a circle)
Tap the document for which you want to view versions.
Tap versions at the top (that may be a clock icon).
Choose the version that you want from the list that appears.

If there are no versions listed there and there should be because you've been working with that document for some time then you may need to check that iCloud syncing is working properly on your device.
