1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,166
This fictional weekly report was approved at four hundred twenty dollars.

2
00:00:04,166 --> 00:00:08,253
A later accidental edit raised order S three oh two from

3
00:00:08,253 --> 00:00:13,082
ninety to one hundred fifty, so the displayed total became four hundred eighty.

4
00:00:13,082 --> 00:00:17,540
We will use OneDrive's Version History to find the confirmed earlier

5
00:00:17,540 --> 00:00:21,627
copy, restore it, and verify the exact order and total afterward.

6
00:00:22,227 --> 00:00:26,229
The download includes an approved report and an accidental-edit report.

7
00:00:26,229 --> 00:00:28,048
Three order amounts are unchanged.

8
00:00:28,048 --> 00:00:32,050
Only S three oh two moves from ninety to one hundred

9
00:00:32,050 --> 00:00:33,870
fifty, a sixty-dollar increase.

10
00:00:33,870 --> 00:00:37,508
These files are examples, not a ready-made OneDrive history.

11
00:00:37,508 --> 00:00:41,510
For practice, make one disposable file in your own OneDrive and

12
00:00:41,510 --> 00:00:45,149
save the two contents to that same file in sequence.

13
00:00:45,749 --> 00:00:48,667
Use a disposable folder on the OneDrive website.

14
00:00:48,667 --> 00:00:50,491
Upload the approved practice file.

15
00:00:50,491 --> 00:00:54,504
Then upload the accidental version with the same filename into that

16
00:00:54,504 --> 00:00:57,058
folder and choose Replace, not Keep both.

17
00:00:57,058 --> 00:01:01,071
Confirm the folder has one practice file and Version History has

18
00:01:01,071 --> 00:01:05,084
two contents: earlier four hundred twenty and current four hundred eighty.

19
00:01:05,084 --> 00:01:09,097
If either check fails, stop; never practice on a production file.

20
00:01:09,697 --> 00:01:11,985
Sign in at onedrive dot com.

21
00:01:11,985 --> 00:01:16,559
Locate the exact practice file, right-click it, and select Version history.

22
00:01:16,559 --> 00:01:21,133
Microsoft documents this web path for restoring one file at a time.

23
00:01:21,133 --> 00:01:25,327
You may also find Version history in File Explorer when the

24
00:01:25,327 --> 00:01:29,520
OneDrive sync app is installed, but this walkthrough uses the website.

25
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,951
Menu placement may differ by account and interface version.

26
00:01:33,551 --> 00:01:38,298
The version list should show a later edit and an earlier approved state.

27
00:01:38,298 --> 00:01:42,314
Do not choose by position alone: compare the saved time and,

28
00:01:42,314 --> 00:01:46,331
where the interface permits, inspect the contents or download a copy.

29
00:01:46,331 --> 00:01:50,348
Our earlier report has S three oh two at ninety and

30
00:01:50,348 --> 00:01:51,808
total four hundred twenty.

31
00:01:51,808 --> 00:01:55,460
If you cannot identify that version confidently, stop before restoring.

32
00:01:56,060 --> 00:02:00,511
In the Version History pane, open the three-dot menu beside the

33
00:02:00,511 --> 00:02:02,737
confirmed earlier version and choose Restore.

34
00:02:02,737 --> 00:02:06,817
Microsoft's support page says that selected version becomes the current

35
00:02:06,817 --> 00:02:11,639
version, while the previously current file becomes an older entry in the history.

36
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,719
For a real document, later edits will no longer be in

37
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:19,057
the current copy, so confirm the choice before clicking.

38
00:02:19,657 --> 00:02:22,240
Open the current practice file after restoration.

39
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,562
Order S three oh two should be ninety again.

40
00:02:25,562 --> 00:02:29,621
The four amounts should read one hundred, ninety, one hundred twenty,

41
00:02:29,621 --> 00:02:32,942
and one hundred ten, giving four hundred twenty dollars.

42
00:02:32,942 --> 00:02:37,001
Reopen Version History and confirm the later four-hundred-eighty-dollar

43
00:02:37,001 --> 00:02:39,585
copy still appears as an older version.

44
00:02:39,585 --> 00:02:41,799
The answer check lists both states.

45
00:02:42,399 --> 00:02:47,247
Version History is for earlier states of a file that remains in OneDrive.

46
00:02:47,247 --> 00:02:50,604
A deleted file follows a separate recycle-bin route.

47
00:02:50,604 --> 00:02:54,707
If Version history is absent, a work or school administrator may

48
00:02:54,707 --> 00:02:59,928
have disabled versioning, or you may be looking at a different account or location.

49
00:02:59,928 --> 00:03:04,031
The walkthrough does not promise recovery when no earlier version exists.

50
00:03:04,031 --> 00:03:07,015
Check account and file before trying another method.
