Version history will only work based upon your plan. So 30 days of files for free users, 180 if paid.

It isnt possible to retroactively change that (i.e. you cannot pay now to get longer).

Hey there, Nevil, welcome to our Community!

Have you tried checking the version history of the file, in order to revert to an older version of it?

Can you give this a go, and let me know how it goes?

Thanks a bunch!
