Microsoft Word has made it incredibly easy to track the changes made to any document and to restore previous versions. We’re going to show you how to view and restore previous versions of a Word document.
To use this method, you’re going to need an active Microsoft 365 subscription. This is a requirement because Microsoft Word enables version history only when files are saved to OneDrive. Fortunately, you get 1TB of OneDrive storage along with your Microsoft 365 subscription.
You’ll also need to save your document to OneDrive, which will ensure that it’s being saved automatically. Once this is done, you can continue to work on the document, and Microsoft Word will keep storing various versions of your document.
Once upon a time, a word processor was little more than a blank canvas for your finger-transmitted musings: You would open up the program, type whatever you wanted, and that was pretty much it.
These days, dealing with documents has practically become an art. Even though Google Docs is among the more approachable options out there (paging Microsoft Office Ribbon.), the service has grown surprisingly multilayered as of late.
For the most part, that is a good thing. Docs is still generally quite easy to use, and it packs more than enough punch for most common word processing purposes. But sometimes, the layers of complexity can lead to cloud-sized headaches that are anything but light and fluffy.
