Restoring Previous Versions of a Document

When using files in SharePoint and the K-drive, previous versions are stored in SharePoint Online. 

To access these files, visit https://stalbansschool.sharepoint.com/sites/StaffResources and select Documents from the left-hand menu. This is the online version of the K-drive with the folder structure and permissions the same as on your PC. 

1. Navigate to the file your need to restore.
2. Click the 3 dots next to the document
3. From the menu, select Version history
4. This menu will appear showing you all the previous versions, along with some metadata
5. If you want to verify which version you need, you can click on one in the list to view it before restoring
6. Select the version you want to restore and click Restore
7. The previous version will now appear alongside the current version in the same folder

*Using the Previous Versions tab in File Explorer is not an effective way of restoring files*
