Restore an earlier version of a file
Undo changes or recover from a mistake in a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file.
If a file is saved in OneDrive or SharePoint, it keeps earlier versions.
- Open OneDrive in your browser, or open the OneDrive folder in File Explorer.
- Right-click the file and choose Version history.
- Select the version you want and open it to check that it is the right one.
- Choose Restore.
Good to know
Inside Word or Excel, you can also select File, then Info, then Version History.
Careful
Files saved only on your computer have no version history.
