Before You Start

Note: This function is only available on Windows computers.

Navigate to File Share

  1. Open the File Explorer image-20240703-142555.png located at the bottom of your screen.

  2. In the left pane, click This PC.

  3. Identify your file share(s) in the Networked locations section in the File Explorer window.

Restore the Entire File Share to a Previous Version

  1. Right-click on the file share you’d like to restore to a previous version. Click Properties.

  2. In the Properties window, click the Previous Versions tab.

  3. Select the date and time

  4. In the Properties window click the Previous Versions tab to see a list of dates and times you can select from.

  5. Select a date and time prior to the file/folder having been deleted or becoming corrupt. Click View to verify the document.

  6. If what you are looking for is not here, then try another date and time.

  7. Once you locate a viable copy of the file/folder you can drag it to your desktop or back onto the network share or select “Save As” and select another location.

  8. Do not use the Restore option, unless you have the specific folder/file selected and it needs to be restored in its entirety to an earlier point in time. All changes since that restore point will be lost, so you should be certain that the Restore feature will work for you instead of Copy.
