My colleagues and I have been

00:00:02

working on a contract agreement

00:00:05

and as you can see right here,

00:00:08

Amory is right now updating it.

00:00:10

Amory is new to Microsoft 365

00:00:12

and by sheer mistakes simply ends

00:00:15

up deleting the whole documents.

00:00:17

He doesn't even realize it and

00:00:20

simply closes that document.

00:00:22

Once Stephen though gets back to

00:00:24

the SharePoint library and decides

00:00:26

to work on said document, well,

00:00:29

everything is saved automatically.

00:00:31

And Stephen ends up with a blank document.

00:00:34

What can he do to save the situation?

00:00:37

You can simply go to the top left of

00:00:40

your screen and this works whether

00:00:43

you are on Excel, PowerPoint,

00:00:45

Word Online or the desktop app.

00:00:47

You simply have to click on the

00:00:50

name of your document

00:00:52

and use the version history. You have

00:00:56

access to several versions of your document.

00:00:59

These versions are being saved automatically.

00:01:03

Right here we can see that 15 minutes ago

00:01:06

Amory modified the document and we can

00:01:08

also see the specific changes he made.

00:01:11

And of course the changes

00:01:13

are he deleted everything we

00:01:14

can choose to restore our document

00:01:16

to that version. It will still be

00:01:19

the same document as in the same file.

00:01:21

It will not create a copy,

00:01:23

it will be saved in the same library.

00:01:27

If you want though to save a copy,

00:01:29

simply left click save a copy.

00:01:33

You could also decide to download

00:01:35

that version by clicking on the

00:01:38

three ellipses and then load.

00:01:41

The version history is not something

00:01:43

you have to activate as a user.

00:01:46

It is already by default available

00:01:49

to all of you out-of-the-box.

00:01:51

And remember, this is available in Word,

00:01:55

Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint.
