We’ve all been there, you’re working with a file, and you accidentally delete a huge chunk of text and then save it without realising. Fear not, Office365 has version history so you can recover your lost work!

How to recover your file:

    • Open the file in OneDrive/SharePoint
    • Click File > Version History
    • Choose a previous version – these are ordered by date and time to help you determine the right version to recover
    • Restore or download it

Now you don’t need to panic if you overwrite an important document!
