How do I restore an earlier version of my document in SharePoint?

Note: This is only possible if the document library has versioning switched on.

• Navigate to the SharePoint site page where the document is located.

• Locate the document you wish to restore to an earlier version.

• Click  '...' to open up the document settings menu.
  
  

• This will open another menu. Click '...' again.
  
  

 

• Select 'Version History'
  
  

•  A list of earlier document versions will be displayed.
  
  

• Hover your mouse over the document you wish to interact with. You can select 'View' or 'Restore'.

• Selecting 'View' will open a window which will display details about the document.

• Selecting 'Restore' will make the historic version of the document the current version.

• If you want to check what content a certain version has, click on the hyperlink of the document and it will open.
  

• If a document is accidently restored and you wish to revert to the previous version, you will be able to view the previous version in the version history list.
