Figure 16-7. When you search in the File History box, you get a list of matches. At this point, you can
double-click one of them to see what the file is (and then start rewinding time to find an earlier draft
by clicking the button).

Or you can recover a missing or outdated file by right-clicking it and choosing Restore from the
shortcut menu.

The fourth way to rewind a file or folder is to right-click its icon (or hold

your finger down on it); from the shortcut menu, choose “Restore previous
versions.” The Properties dialog box opens for that item, where you can
click the tab called Previous Versions.

Note

Question: If you have to click the Previous Versions tab anyway, why choose “Restore previous
versions” from the shortcut menu instead of Properties? Answer: Who knows? Both commands do
exactly the same thing.
