SAU19 Knowledge Base - How to Restore a Previous Version of a File in OneDrive

SAU #19 educators can use Version History in OneDrive to view and restore previous versions of a document. This can be helpful if changes were made accidentally or if you need to return to an earlier version of your work. To restore a document to a previous version, follow these instructions:

1. Log into Microsoft 365 online: https://portal.office.com.

2. Click OneDrive under the Apps section. If OneDrive is not listed, click All apps, then select OneDrive.

3. Click on the My Files folder icon on the left side bar.

4. Locate the file you want to restore.

5. If you are using Tiles view, select the circle on the file you want to restore. Then click the three dots (⋯) and select Version History from the drop-down menu.

If you are using List view, click the three dots (⋯) to the right of the file and select Version History from the drop-down menu.

You will now see a detail list of all the available versions of the file.

6. Hover over the version you want to restore, then click the three dots (⋯) to the right of the version number. To restore the file to that version, select Restore. If you would like to review the version before restoring it, select Open File.
