Restore previous file versions

Restore the client presentation slides to the version saved on March 2 at 09:15 because the March 10 file was corrupted. Replace the current Presentation_Final.pptx with that March 2 copy and keep a backup of the corrupted March 10 file in a folder named Corrupted Backups before replacing it.

Before I revert slides for the sales deck, make it easy for the account lead to accept the change: show a timestamped preview of the March 2 version, list any images or linked charts that will be affected, warn if any comments will be lost, and create a backup of the current file in a Corrupted Backups folder so the team can review if needed.

The March 10 sales deck opened as gibberish and Priya insists we must restore March 2. I worry we might lose Tom’s last-hour edits from March 8. I don’t know whether those edits exist in the corrupted file or a local copy. What’s the most reliable way to restore March 2 while preserving any recoverable March 8 edits and minimizing risk before our Friday call?

We keep reverting to earlier file versions and then discover we’ve lost important late edits, costing credibility with clients. Are we failing because people work offline, because we lack a clear single-edit-owner, or because backups aren’t automated? What one operational habit should we enforce to stop these repeated rollbacks?
