File reverted back to the old version.

I worked in an Excel file on the computer and saved it. A few hours later when I opened it again, it reverted back to a 16 day old version. Nobody else accessed it, the file is in use and saved several times every day. What's going on?

  • Hi zpacsi, welcome to our Community! 

     

    As a first step, can you check the file's version history and let me know what you find there? 

     

    Another place I'd like for you to check would be the events page

     

    Let me know what you find!

      hello, I checked it and it shows correctly every save up to 9 October and labels this save as 'Current version'. also this affects only said file. all other ones seemed to be correct. thanks
