How To Use Version History for Office Documents
After hours of working on a report, close Word and notice that you forgot to save the file. You may have opened a document that you want to use as a template; you have made some changes and then saved the file by overwriting your template. Before you spend time recreating a Word document from scratch, you can try to restore the previous version of the file.
Microsoft Office automatically saves versions of your SharePoint, OneDrive and OneDrive for Business files when you work on them. With these versions, you can look back and understand how your files have evolved over time, and you can restore the old versions if you made a mistake.
