Recovering previous file versions

Andrew Marshall

I was working on a sheet and made significant changes and completed a "save as" file. Upon closing the auto save changed the original sheet and I now have lost a significant amount of work. Is there anyway to load a previous version or recover that data?

Hi @Andrew Marshall

I hope you're well and safe!

You can check the Activity Log and either request a Snapshot or see the history in the log.

More info.

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Thanks Andree, yes I had considered this an option to rebuild the sheet. I was hoping for a more streamlined solution before spending the time to rebuild the sheet from the activity log. Thanks for your time in responding here!

Me too! I was hoping for a more streamlined solution before spending the time to rebuild the sheet from the activity log.

I'm very disappointed. I was hoping I could upload the log and Smartsheet would automatically rebuild the sheet.

I too am very disappointed.
