Revert to a previous version of a sync file using a web browser

Connected retains older versions of your files for a limited time so that you can revert to a previous version using the Connected web application, if necessary. When you revert to a specific version, it becomes the current one and syncs with each of your devices.

To revert to a previous version of a file

1. Click the FILES tab, and then click the SYNC tile.

2. Select the file that you want to revert to a previous version.

   To quickly find an item, you can search for it. See how.

   To locate an item based on name or size in any folder, perform an advanced search. Otherwise, to search for an item by name in the current folder or its subfolders, do the following:

   1. Click find something in this folder, and then enter any portion of the item's name. The search is case insensitive.

      You can also use wildcard characters in your search criteria. See how.

      • To match zero or more characters, enter an asterisk (*).

        For example, sales* matches Sales, Sales1, and Sales-West. *sales matches Presales.

      • To match a single character, enter a question mark (?).

        For example, Sales-?? matches Sales-NW but not Sales-W.

      • To match an item by exact name, enclose your text in double quotes ("text")

        For example, "SalesReport.doc" matches SalesReport.doc but not SalesReport1.doc or SalesReport.docx.

        NOTE: When you search using only the double quotes ("") without enclosing any text in between, the system displays a bad request error. Similarly, when you search using the special character %, the system displays the request could not be completed error.

      As you type, the list updates to display the items that match your text.

   2. To clear the search and redisplay all items in the current folder, click .

3. Click VERSION HISTORY ().

4. Select a previous version, and then click REVERT ().
