2. Find the file you want to look at.
3. Click on the 3 dots to the right of the file name to “show actions”.
4. Click on Version history.
5. A pane will open on the right of your screen with the various versions of the file.

From Office 365 on Desktop 

1. Open the file you want to view.
2. From the menu bar along the top of the programme, select File.
3. Select Info from the menu on the left.

We do also recommend that you back-up all important documents regularly to a different location, such as a USB stick.
